Hi AJ,

This is a fantastic poem. The tone is filled with pain and confusion. It grabs all the reader's attention and makes them want to read on. The poem is about the lack of self worth you endure because of the trauma your family caused you. I am still recovering from the emotional scars of abuse but loving people make it easier for me. I loved this poem and read to the last word. The free verse works well in this poem, and you have handled it very well. There is a wonderful rhythm here. The poem flows extremely well. It is a pleasure to read. You have used punctuation and grammar consistently in this poem. There is nothing to distract the reader from their reading pleasure. Great job.
