i'll put this in May 2019's showcase. Thanks. bri :) and i'll include this 'note': " What does it mean to be called a heel? " contemptible person, " 1914 in U.S. underworld slang, originally " incompetent or worthless criminal, " perhaps from a sense of " person in the lowest position" and thus from heel "

A strong and bold poem, i mean look at the first line, it such a huge statement and core meaning in the middle, tell directly to the face, sharp ending finished by great warning! this is brilliant!

Thank you so much, Soul. I think I did intend for this piece to have some fairly sharp, jagged edges. Thanks again.
