This section is the after math of the previous section. Whitman gives us a brief section of post withdrawal writing, "Did it make you ache so, leaves".

This section reminds me of Blue Book #6 in Sing due to the feeling that the world views a woman should feel. Similar there is the same thing here where they are expected to ache after leaving.

This section of the poem made me feel like I needed to take my own personal breath. Reconnect with myself before moving forward.

There is a sense of self reflection in a way that focuses on a persons "truest self". Going past the surface and internally discover yourself.

This section reminds me of the poem, After the War, the Head Nurse Gives Advice to Wives Visiting the Ward because it is the raw truth of what happened after the war similar to Walt Whitman's internal raw incites upon himself.

This section of the poem made me feel that I needed to do some personal internal thinking about my decisions and the path that I am laying out for myself.
