I’m here as the new judge for the ‘Pre-Writes #2’ contest.
The message behind this poem was very powerful and poignant. I love a good positive poem because a lot of people think poetry has to be sad and tragic, but it really doesn’t. This one was full of so much self-confidence and pride. I love how wrote that humans are beautiful, but definitely not perfect. It doesn’t make you stupid or worthless or pathetic. Flaws are human qualities so it’s unrealistic to expect otherwise, and I love that you addressed this. The final line really packed a punch.
I also really enjoyed how you used a very simplistic and blunt style rather than the classic ‘poetry’ kind of method. I think it complemented the poem even more because it created a kind of unapologetic “screw you and everyone else that tells me otherwise” tone.

So overall, great poem!
