A new poem that I wrote in my diary, that I was able to decipher my handwriting so everyone else can read it

 

any comments/reviews are welcome - good or bad

That was very moving. I liked how you simultaneously expressed shame and fear:

 

Swimming through me,

Constantly nudging me towards temptation,

What would they all think of me then?

If they could see me now, would they still come near me?

as well as pride and strength:

 

I prefer disgust and hatred on their faces,

Over the crushing look of pity and sympathy.

It was definitely a very potent and compelling piece. I think it's something that everyone will be able to identify with, to some extent, at one point or another in their lives.

 

Great job!

Hey, thanks for reading my poem

 

that line from my point means, ive been told by my parents that the mean things kids say to you are lies and not to listen to them because they are not true. but then when the bullies started calling me gay, i started questioning everything i thought must be lies, that since that one word is true the others must be as well, and im kinda questioning someone to challange that thought.

 

kinda long round about explination, but it works from my pov

Hi Bee

Every time I read your work I cry. You sure put it all out there.

If you can ever use a big hug or a soft shoulder or an understanding ear I'm well equipped.
