True

[operadiva]

This is my first critique, so bear with me! I really like the texture of the words you chose. I do think that a more specific image could be painted, but I also understand that some ambiguity helps more people relate to the theme.  An example of more specificity could even the the last two lines. I totally get that we, as a people, just accept the reality of disappoint but I want there to be a more pointed reflection. What kind of embrace? Is it something that is ultimately unavoidable, is it sought after in a self-destructive way, is it simply ignored, is it hard to recognize? I don't know if more details will take away from your goal, but as the reader, I really wanted to better understand why you felt compelled to share these thoughts. I wanted to see and feel more of what was going on. I really enjoyed this poem! 

Thank you for your time and energy.
