Response to The Nerve Meter

When I first read the The Nerve Meter I did not understand what the poem was about I felt very confused bout and had to read it many times till I finally understood that it is about an actor expressing there opinion and feelings on how the world is seen through there eyes. As everyone has their own prospective on how they see the world and the events that happen in it this poem is very emotional as the actor expresses his/her feelings in a monotone structure. Also that in society you can loose yourself as a person which in a way can turn you crazy 'intelligence is only a vast contingency, and that one can lose it' as you slowly become a completely different person to the person you originally was alienating yourself from yourself. That when you begin to the process of finding yourself you end up alienating yourself from reality creating your own bubble until your whole again. This poem also touches upon that in the moment of finding yourself you gain the knowledge of no one will full understand you except yourself  'I am the witness, I am the only witness of myself...I am the only person who can measure its extent'
