I also liked this poem a lot and I feel that it can really relate other kids who are your age at the time you wrote this. Aside from the other nit-picky things mention earlier, I want to ask if your use of "sheen" was done purposefully. I can't decide whether I like or not (not that my opinion should matter much to you ). I feel that it is an unexpected word and that's why I like it, but then I can't overlook the thought that a better word could have been used (perhaps "shine"). I realize, though, that you did not edit this poem from its original form, so thumbs up for preserving the innocence! Over all, I liked it a lot.
To M.J.,
I hope you can forgive me,
Though I'll never forgive myself.
Until again, my friend
I liked this poem, even though it was a tad depressing. This was really powerful, and I got a mental picture of a girl hiding in an alleyway. Trust me, that's a good thing!
Anyways, I liked this poem. I want to see what your poems look like when they're not about something depressing! Just kidding!
More than anything she wanted the world to be uncomplicated, for right and wrong to be as easily divided as the black and white sections of an Oreo. But the world was not a cookie. — Roshani Chokshi, Aru Shah and the Tree of Wishes
