The importance of a sentence is usually told in the sentence itself, whereas "extra" details are withheld in brackets, this poem is the exact opposite. The sentences are beautiful lies. The brackets are harsh truths and inherently of more import.
Read the sentences without the brackets. Then read them without the words in Italics. Then read the entire thing, Italics and brackets included. There are 3 very different poems here: 1 that is a blatant lie, 1 that is true despair, the other (possibly most accurate) is the conflict of a depressed mind raging back and forth against itself. ~Enjoy
