Commentary 20 - On "Neuro-Diverse"

I had a desire to make a bonus poem after all for the ending of Submerged Castles. Over the last few months I’ve been going through so many highs and lows. I’ve had so many good friends help over the course of the last few months. Medication also played a nice role in helping ease my mind so we find reference to that within the poem. Also included is a lyrical reference to “Eternal Torment”, because I like doing those and now is put into a new context of constant regret of a withering kingdom. That despite friction and loss of friendship, there is still genuine hope that someday it will be rekindled and reconciled. That no matter the heartache and the past, there can still be hope for resurrection and truth.

It was a crazy year. I dunno how I got through. It was so easy to give up. At many points I wanted to give up, I didn’t care anymore because I was jaded and lost. I didn’t care anymore about anything. I felt numb and I hated it. But now I’m free. I’m feeling better. I found a way out. I may have lost a lot but now I’ve accepted it. And there’s still hope for resurrection. After writing these two collections, I've let a lot of emotions go. Lost friendship and lost love are gone. But now I can rest knowing that I've found a deeper appreciation for my writing. I hope this writing helped you too in some way.
