The way you designed this poem is epic! I love the last line and how you contradict yourself. This is what people are talking about when they call poetry art. This beauty. I kind of feel like I relate to this in a sense of as if I wrote down all the ways people have described me before knowing me. Also, its really interesting how you use common objects to describe yourself as well as meaning full words. You put this poem together very nicely and I can tell you are very intellectual, like you use your brain and have advanced thought patterns. Sweet poem=] I enjoyed it.

Your poems are amazing, just saying. And this one was beautiful, just like all the others. I liked the meaning behind it, and it flowed really well through each line. Wow. :)

Very unique. I enjoyed it, reminded me of some song I once heard. Can't, for the life of me, remember the name. Good job.
