  i'm not entirely sure what i wanted to say... like, i had this whole thing in my mind while reading the poem but now i just can't get it down, you know? it's like... this. "fuck you if you aren't you and fuck you if you are" something like that? i don't really know. sorry i'm being so confusing xd i guess it makes me think about the phrase Frank said once, i can't remember what it was from word to word, but the main meaning was something like if the world isn't a different place after you've lived, you haven't done the right thing. yeah... i don't know! it's past midnight and i'm tired, forgive me my messy thoughts :D anyway, thank you for this one, because i truly enjoyed it (:

  Thank you :)
  
  I can't exactly describe the things that made me write this, either. It's kind of too obscure to be put down in coherent words, and that's where poetry comes in :) But I think we have about the same thoughts about this one, in general :)

  Deep man.
  
  I get another religious concept out of this one.
  
  Kind of like what Nietzsche wrote: "We've killed God, what have we done?".
  
  The tallest man on Earth, man. Lines relating to that are telling me that story.
  
  You're probably just like "the actual F?!" reading that.

  Thank you :)
  
  And honestly, I never thought of it that way, even though I must say it would make perfect sense to assume that the tallest man on Earth would be some kind of God-like figure. But since I'm not religious, my tallest man stands for all the people who never fit in and are like the rest.
  
  But as I've said before, the gist about poetry is that you kind of give the reader the freedom of making their own interpretation :)
