While I embarrasingly admit having slight apprehension to read it outloud myself, the rational part of me believes the only way this would have any effect on a reader would be placebo effect -- mind making your body experience what it believes to be true, but isn't.

My personal belief's is also that since we believe in things we think are real, that we can experience, we must also experience the reality of things we believe in, regardless whether what we believe in actually is real. The same way as 1+1=2 also means 2=1+1. And, thus, if what we believe in isn't actually real, it's a mistake that will be corrected, because by "law" it must be real. So, basically, if you're open to the possibility of this poem hurting you (whether it is actually possible or not - irrelevant), then there is a possiblity of you getting hurt. ...But that's just philosophy.

I think the key is to be an insufferable sceptic prick. :D
