Gorgeous. I feel like the poem itself is breathing while these thoughts run through your head - the second-to-last stanza really works because the lines seem to shrink and shrink as if maybe the hurricane is actually subsiding, and then those three lines at the end are just the right punctuation after letting go. I enjoyed this a lot!

I love the imagery here, "my skull holds a hurricane" is my favorite. What a wonderful musing on the mind and connections with others. Love it!

our inner dialogue shaped
by every soul we’ve ever met,
every piece of media ever consumed
taken apart and pieced back together -
we are interwoven, and yet
all destined to disintegrate

I love this line so very much.

This is beautiful. It's easy to see how deeply personal this is to you but it's so accessible to the rest of us as well. I was very affected by this piece and felt really connected to it. Though personal to you, it's still relatable. Beautifully written.
