A gorgeous piece by Sunsetxgerardway (hereby refered to as Sunset for simplicities sake), being a relatively dense piece being exact in interpreting is hard, but I'll do what i can.
In the first stanza we have a sense of exasperation, "scream even though they won't hear you", a person flailing for something to hold onto and horrifically mute in their pleas, it's interesting to not the lack of vitriol towards those who don't hear. They aren't bad people, they simply lack the capacity to take in what the author has to offer.
"Take my hand and don't let go Stay and don't let me fall through I love you more than you know"
the voice has failed and so we move into a state of tactile connection, you can't hear me, so feel me dammit...hold me and know that I am indeed here and not a phantom from the past. Along with this a plea, something desperate...PLEASE don't let me fall through, anchor me here in this moment, this holy moment with you.
From here we set up an adversarial relationship with those around us, we have the one in whom the author holds onto, a trust through which they can watch the "burning" of the ego in those around them, recognition of worth through the destruction of the Sklavmoral to create a symbiosis, something real in a world of those "in the way"
Now as the writer falls through themselves, gives themselves up in their trust to the one who felt them when they touched them...and this followed by a dichotomy again, "we are a disease", asking, is this solidarity truthfully beyond the plasticity of the world around us? Where do we go with this freedom? Getting freedom is easy, surviving it...
And finally a plea...can you FEEL it my love, can you nor hear the music in the air? The final line leaves us ambiguous, does the subject accept this risk, are THEY willing to trade their humanity as such for the magic in these moments? We never know, which is part of the beauty...this poem can be both uplifting and horrifically terrifying at the same time. very well done work, congrats.
Thanks so much c: It's great to here how the audience interprets things ^^ Very appreciated! :3 You interpreted it very well o3o I wish I had more to say... but I ran out of things xD; But thanks again o3o
Just busy...I'm doing placement for school doing support work at a local place (Community Living Brant, they employ mentally handicapped people and run a literacy program so I've been basically teaching people to read and use computers and such which is pretty rewarding), so I do that all week full time days and then on the weekends I switch to doing nights at a local Tim Hortons coffee shop, 11-7. Takes it's toll, I really don't have any days off at all, and switching back and forth from being up all night to all day to all night again is pretty brutal, it's really slowed down my output here too unfortunately. What you been up to?

"For a sorcerer, reality, or the world we all know, is only a description that has been pounded into you from the moment you were born."
Oh my o.o You really deserve some rest! The Community Living Brant sounds cool ^^ I hope you're able to get some time off >< I just got out of school and I'm planning to visit my friend who moved away this summer ^^ I miss her a lot and I never get to see her anymore so I'm really excited ^^
It's nice to reconnect with old friends from time to time...my friend Ryan is in the Navy here, lives in Halifax and I'm in Ontario so we only see each other on weddings or Christmas...My other friend Adam I don't see much either, both of them I met in about Kindergarten or Grade 1. Most of my other friends from that long ago have either moved way far away or there's a reason we don't talk anymore hope you have a great time
