    Poem Commentary

    I have been abstinent for almost six months...And I have done this exercise several times in my life as a sort of cleansing for my soul. But this time now I am doing it to save my life. And this is the best decision that I have ever made. And truth...whether I pass or fail in the face of adversity...No one can take away the peace of mind and knowledge that I have had the blessing of taking on this six month journey! It may seem like such a small victory, but it has truly saved my life

    Like a Virgin

    I want to remember tonight

    …Forever…

    Tonight I owned my own life

    I took it back when just a short while ago it was so out of reach

    The whole entire world around me was spinning

    Further and further over the edge

    While I dwelled in perfect peace

    So calm,

     I dreamed about dreaming

    And in the most daring of seconds

    I came into my womanhood

    Tonight I was no longer the girl who said

    And wished,

    And dreamed…

    I was the woman, who did,

    And committed,

    And conquered…

    It was all right there in front of me

    I was at my true test

    And after seven years of failing…

    I had finally won

    My victory for the first time felt so free and pure

    I walk the streets of the world now naked in every way,

    And there isn’t a blemish that bothers me

    This poem speaks to me from a sense of empowerment, purity, and enlightenment. I would like to offer you my take of your audience, read over this poem as if you had never indulged in intercourse, shutting out of your mind the act, then imagine reading your poem for the first time. To include the honor, respect, lightness of spirit and soul which can be experienced from abstinence.

    It reminds me of a sublime moment by the sea, where you can find a peace and tranquility. So I see you have found it thus.

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

    Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
