You are very good Callie. Some of my work is considered too blunt and frank, but if you'd like to read my 2 best poems check out 'this poet' and 'take it down'

Well, this strikes a chord. This could be me! Fading, fading becoming more and more invisible as people avoid meeting my eye in case they get 'lumbered' with my unwanted company. Very well worded and observed - but painful to read!
