Oh, wow. This was overwhelming. This non-poem screamed and slapped me in the face. It told me to sit down, shut up, and face facts. It was brutal, honest, cruel, and beautiful. The punctuation and lack of breaks suited the style perfectly. You've gotten your point across in a very powerful way. This is a fully realized work, bravo.
