Jesse,
This is a well rhymed poem which could by about a person who is questioning gender orientation and wondering if people will accepting him/her if they come out. But it shows that any kind of love builds self esteem and maybe saying we should be as accepting as children.
I like the metaphor of looking at your self on a slide under a microscope for self examination.
Keep writing and stay healthy

Thank you so much, Joan, for choosing this poem out of my portfolio...it is my favorite poem, and I am proud of it.
You are right on the money when it comes to questioning genders. I think we need to be as accepting as children and sometimes more so. I am glad you like the metaphor of the slide of self under the microscope. Thank you for choosing your favorite lines out of this piece. I appreciate your kind comments very much. You have put much thought into this review, and I am thankful.
As always, I will keep writing and stay as healthy as I can.
Have a wonderful day, my friend,
Jesse

I think the best way to make people insecure and walking on marshland where nothing solid is certain such as gender fluidity, one plays with what was once assumed solid, that's why faith can be an illusive butterfly, but biblically it is a solid premise, conquering the shifting nature of man's fluttering nature.

Hello Jesse,
An excellent rhymed poem that reads like free verse.
You have your own unique style of writing, which is a good thing.
Whether things happen by chance or not is an interesting proposition.
But connectivity and fusion are central to my perception of the existence.
"It echoes with conclusion
that love lifts my self-esteem."
Well said.
Best wishes to you, my friend.
Robert

Comment from Sanku
The convoluted confession of a happenstance delusion seems brilliantly colourful. In the semiconscious sphere you hear childrens songs that lifts your self esteem .
i loved this poem ,though I am not sure I fully understood it.

Very well done. A cosmic poem so to speak. Since my pen name is Cosmos and that is my middle name, this gets a cosmos stamp of approval.

I enjoyed this poem very much. What a lovely word happenstance is too. We all need " echoes with conclusion that love lifts my self-esteem." in our lives.

Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
I enjoyed reading and reviewing your poem. You gave readers much to ponder. Your lines read well with many good examples, the rhymes work well, and your message is clear. I agree with you about love. With love that's sincerely given to another, it can, and does, raise one's self-esteem.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

Comment from juliaSjames
An intriguing write. I heard ghostly echoes of TS Eliot in your style although your words and expressions are unique. From time to time we are all moved to explore within, to slip into that "semiconscious sphere" of which you write. The poet's domain.
Thanks for sharing your uplifting verse
Stay safe healthy and blessed

Wow. I am honored, Julia, by your mention of T.S. Eliot in the same vein as this poem. If we share the same style at all, I am thrilled by the comparison. Thank you so much for your kind and encouraging comments.
Have a wonderful evening and be well.

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
This is a lovely poem, with some really excellent thoughts in it, too. We do feel so much better when we manage to heal our mind, the body then follows suit and lifts us up to start anew. That's all we need to get us going again. I enjoyed reading this, Jesse, it's an excellent poem, my friend. :)) Warm hugs, Sandra xx

Thank you for your kind review, Sandra, and I am glad you enjoyed reading this poem. Healing our mind, helps the body to heal, and sometimes, it works the other way around, as well.
Take care, and have a lovely evening.
Jesse
