Nice! I love all the jingles and tinkles. I like the gentle change in emotion by the end. It makes me feel hopeful. Would be a good one to read when depression starts to get the better of me and I'm looking for that light at the end of the tunnel. ^_^
I know little about formatting. I generally don't like it because I tend to find it distracting and unnecessary. Not here specifically, just in general. Like I am aware more of the physical presence of the letters/words than the emotions behind them. That's just one little person's opinion though!

Hehe :aww: oh... I just added a last stanza... does it look better that way ^^;

Hmmm. I don't know. I think I preferred it the other way. Maybe it's because I liked the last line.
Actually! Oh! I think if you swapped the last two paragraphs around (or whatever they are called) it would work well. But that's just me. I think it works with the last line feeling gentle and sweet, rather than bold and triumphant. Like finally she can feel peaceful. Like, all this torment and fighting, then, yeah! Go away devil!... Now gently, gently stepping forward.
Sorry if I suck at explaining it. Haha!

hmmm... another person has also asked me about swapping the last two stanza's. I guess I will look into it then :D Thank you :aww: so... I did change the last line of the second last stanza as well. I should still swap them?
JessicaDunn's avatar
You're welcome ^_^.
Which two lines were you talking about exactly? There's a lot of swapping going on. Haha!

THe last line which is now "as blooms sprouted anew from the withered flowerbed"... actually I do feel like exchanging them too :D
