    The fourth stanza really stood out to me. It reminds me of some hard times I've had to overcome like my mother. Its a sad poem, but its well written and in my opinion, can relate to many people. I really liked reading it.

    I really like the emotion in this. It's also really relatable, I think a lot of people feel like they're their own worst enemy. This part really stuck out to me:
    "What didn't kill me
    should have made me stronger
    even if being stronger
    meant being without you alone"

    That part is just heartbreaking to me. I think this poem could benefit with some grammar. As well as not having each line begin with a capital letter. Good job, I enjoyed this.

    The emotion in this was really simplistic.. It makes it all the better. It has a tone of acceptance and confusion all at the same time. This flow in this is really good, except in the third stanza. Reading it out loud will show you where it's off. I really love this, though, especially your repetition. It's totally relatable, too.

    I find that poems are always full of emotion, and often it becomes too much. They're usually too packed full of emotion and it seems like they're trying too hard. With a few exceptions, this poem was not like that. It was a good amount of emotion and you expressed it clearly. Good job!

    This poem was quite painful to read but that isn't a bad thing. Given the topic it's always good if the right emotions jump out at you. If it's supposed to be sad and yet it feels emotionless while you read it then the point is lost. Despite this being sad and quite painful it's still a good read. I'd end this with "Great job" but I'm not sure if that would be appropriate or not.
