I love poems that aren't afraid to swear... there's a difference between doing it for the shock value of it (cheap) and for the actual vibrancy of the poem. This is vibrant, this is the culture, your peeling back the rind for us to see the fruit
I relate to this poem coming from a family whose lost loved ones to substance abuse.
The subject matter always manages to hit me and intrigue at the same time
"There ought to be a room in this house to swear in. It's dangerous to suppress an emotion like that... Under certain circumstances, profanity provides a relief denied even to prayer."- Mark Twain
Good stuff man, keep it up
