Thank you for reading the story and your kind praise

I enjoyed reading your poem.
You left it open to interpretation, which was meaningful to me as I was able to put myself in the poem and assess my hurts in life. 

The lines, that I referenced above, led me down a path of realization and growth.
You drew me in!

Wow, that's so meaningful to hear! I'm glad you got something out of my poem

A novel tucked into a poem -- Indar this is amazing writing.
You lay humanity open for the look-see, the good and the struggling.

There are what would otherwise be a few nits with respect to syntax & diction, but I think they add texture to the voice of the N.  Don't change a thing.

Cheers.

Paraphilia - interesting
(I googled it!)

This is why I love to read.  It takes me to places unknown and creates conversation - even if it is within myself!

Thanks for sharing.

Context helps. I work with individuals suffering from paraphilia so I took it some way. Wondering if that was the intention to strike parallel with atrocity/ depravity.

I suspect paraphilia (which I had to google) might come into play and it might be somewhat situation specific. Thank you RK (if I may) for adding another dimension to the discussion
