Angie

Wow, oh my gosh, this poem is brilliant and true, very powerful. I LUV IT!

Heather

The power of this poem is so real in my heart; it made me cry. I feel the power if it in every way; especially after today; im just a nothing girl who is nice to everyone but isnt treated with such respect even by my own "best friend" and today i felt the cruelty of the "popular girls" and had a revelation bout the kinda people they truly are, which was always there, i was only blinded by my belief that everyone has a good heart. Now i know how that isnt so very true.

Jodie

This Poem was meant for me I think. Thats how it is for me in school. Alot of people shy away from me because of my Weight, they just dont look at me for who i am! I wish each one of them who think that could read this poem and realize how much it hurts. I wish they could be in my shoes for just one day of my life and feel what I feel! This poem brought back memories of how i feel! thanks soo much for writing it! God Bless

Elizabeth

Your poem is soo good. I have read many poem and most dont realate to me and this one realates to real people and real life. It show about people and their problems. I really liked it.

Ashli

Wah. It's like you can read my mind. Yur poem is so honest, it's scary. If I had to rate you out of 1-10. you wouldn't be on the scales at all! You'd be ober them!

Alisa

Your poem is very good and it is saddly so true.

felipe

.this..is about me..

shar

your poem relates to someone in every high school.i would consider myself as part of the popular group but i also try to be friendly with everyone. even though i do this i ostracize a lot of the kids I consider aren't cool enough and know this is wrong but sometimes it can't be helped. its this whole idea of fitting in but i do agree that no one should be treated this way and i know from experience because i am one of the people that have crossed over from this side to the popular side.

kimmi

wow that was a great poem. it makes me thing about what other people feel. i dont have that problem but i no that there are kids in school that do. next time some one says something i will do something about it.

Cat

This poem reminds me of how i used to be. I know how it feels to be treated unimportant, and like i dont have feelings, and i hope it inspires people to think twice before they treat others like that.

Amy

This poem is so great, it somehow reflects how I feel. Alesha, you are a great poet, continue doing good poems

Lauren

This is the most wonderful poem I've ever read. I brought this in to school and read it in front of my class. Now everyone treats me so much better. The sad thing is that it took having to read this poem to have them look at me differently.

Liz

U girl i swear i love this poem is so good 1 i just love its really good, i wish i cound hear more poem about this!

Sara

i have tried to find a poem that even closly relates the way i feel. i moved to a new state and school in my junior year in high school and wheni read this poem i think i have found the one that i have been looking for. im the girl that no one seems to notice, wether it be in class or in the halls.

spoonz

i fink your really deep and awake with lifes mistakes. Dont loose this, even though people are nasty and inconsiderable, they could never compare to your inner beauty. Stay this way and im sure they'll never hurt you to the point of u giving in

natalie

i think your poem is the greatest iv ever read by some one of your age. People are all the same and your poem shows this. Why people are as blind as they are to others feelings is one thing i try but fail to understand. Maybe if some one put them on the reciving end one day they'd wake up to other's pain

Carolyn

Hey. I love this poem. It describes me down to the very necessities. Life foe teens is so hard these days, esecially with the whole popularity thing. I believe the more popular people should read this poem. Maybe then they would reallize what they are doing to us!

AImee

i felt like that once but now i have a good group of friedns and I'm o.k. now. Yes you are still regarded as different by many peole but its not so bad you learn to be strong. I have. It does get better and it is worthwhile so hang in there u will feel better!

ARIELLE

i ENJOYED THIS AND CAN RELATE A LITTLE. i HAVE SO MANY FRIENDS, BUT FEEL ALONE. I STILL GET FORCED INTO GROUPS, THOUGH. SEE, YOU CAN BE POPULAR OR HAVE FRIENDS AND STILL HAVE NO ONE. SO WHEN I SEE A "NERD" AS SOME OF MY FRIENDS WOULD SAY, I CHILL WITTH THEM ANYWAY.

kathy

i thought this poem was a good poem because i can relate to it

Adriane

I am in middle school and I feel every word of that poem. I know how ppl can just sit there and trash u without them knowing what they are doing to your life.

Tessa

I have never looked at life like that, im the type of person who would be the one making fun of people and now you have showed me how mean it actaully is, thank you so much!

allison

i luv this poem. it is very true.

christine

i truly believe what you think it rocks!!1

SaltyTears

I wish I could make this travel arround the world. I'm touched deeply by your words. I was once just like you. Evrybody knew me as a happy person, but inside I was broken by the social weight on my shoulders.

Babs

Maggie

I really like this poem a lot and although I have many friends, I try to be nice to everyone and ask a person like the person in this poem to work with me in groups. Even some of my closest friends are disrespectful and I wish they to could understand what is meant by this pom.
