i really loved this poem it touched me so much because about 6 months ago i lost my best friend who was also my boyfriend to a stupid gang who beat him till his death. i really reach out to those in the same position as me and i hope people will stop being so ridiculous and beating up innocent people

I really like this poem. I started to cry. My good friend is in a coma right now after being beaten nearly to death by someone. It's so hard to see his mom so upset. He is her only child.

This poem was very excellent in my opinion. It shows how a little fight can turn into a big thing.
