The consistancy of the piece was up and down, but overall I enjoyed this. It immediately struck me as interesting from the title, because in a piece I wrote I used that same metaphor of heart-string being used as nooses, so I figured I come and see how you decided to utilize that imagery. The piece was interesting, I mean, much of the begining section seemed like it was more personal than anything so I wasn't very surprised that I had trouble deciphering the root of what it was about, but once it hit the middle section the metaphor was strong enough to care it along it's own surface value. I liked the majority of the content, the only issues I had were in regards to wording. Very often it felt like dropping a few words, or re-arranging some things would have really helped make a line seem stronger but whatever. Overall a steady piece man, keep it up.
