Reflection: This was a personal struggle-themed poem that I wrote back in December of 2013 where the affected party going through a difficult time sought comfort from family and friends by reconnecting with them and working to maintain those relationships – only to have them turn against him/her making things much, much worse. This poem was inspired by true, heart-wrenching events.
