meagan

this poem really made me think of how i treat others and how they treat me. i hope you wanted your poem to make people think.

marigold

i do agree with you not al the time we need to say everything. but at times we should say nothing.

Jules

I love this poem because it made me realize that I need to think before I do things or say things about people. You've made me realize that I don't need everyone to know everything about me. I need to think about what I tell people.

Jessica

Wow. this poem tuched me, it made me really think, that well maybe i am hurting. I was always told by my friends don't keep anything inside, let it all out. tell us what you really think, but i never thought, that was only mean to be true when asked. I usually always just said what was on my mind, never thought twice. I never realized how many people i could of been hurting over the years. so thanks

Shonta

This Poem real touched my heart becaue as I was reading it became a part of me because I reading somones mind of what they was thinking as a teenager and what they was going throw life and it's struggles.

Amy

That poem was amazing. you have great talent. keep up the good work!

Mercedes

You'r right!

Mari

I love this poem. I really do.

Christian

in my opinion, i liked the poem, THINK, because it is so honest and it's competely true. Most of us just say things and we never think about how we will affect everyone around us. Including myself, a lot of us think about ourselves and we ask ourselves in the back of our head, do i look good saying this? but we should do what the poem says. the sad thing is, we don't really think before we say.

Amina

your poem was great

Cateatra

The poem is realling inspiring because it is the same kind of kind of stuff that happens right in front of my face. Also because I can relate to this poem because it is the same thing I do and I don't think about the other persons feeing

Cherry

I really enjoyed reading this poem , its hard to explain but right now its help means alot thank you

Chris

Alana, your poem is very beautiful. It touched my soul. Thank you kindly.

Brittney

hey gurl that was a good poem I mean it was one of them one's that makes you think about yourself and how u treat others. ya poem mad good gurl!

Aly

Hey I have to say that when I read your poem I really felt you were talking to me because I am one of those people that sometimes just blurts out everything they think when I know I do end up hurting peoples feelings. I have probably offended just about everyone I know and for some reason they always put up with it. Thanks for making a poem that helped me a little bit more to realize that what I say sometimes to some people shouldn't be said.

Katie

This poem was really nice and it was sweet I really enjoyed it alot. I think you should make a book and keep writing poetry. Thank you alot.

Kristin

Everyone should follow this poem. It teaches a good lesson. Some things you say may be funny, but think if it was you in their shoes. How would you feel. This poem says a lot towards the was people should act. I agree with it completely

ashu

Alana,its really true. we really dont think. but i'm sure u must've opened eyes of atleast a few people. good work!

Jean

I love this poem. My family members do the same thing. They say things to me that they have no idea hurt me without knowing how horrible things go for me and how i feel just because i dont tell people. I loved this poem

chelsie

This poem i can totally relate to, b/c i most the time dont think about what others are going through and i've just blurted out my problems. there are other people out there who have bigger problems than i do and i've relized that. so now when i have just a little problem i let go and deal with whatever it is that has got me worked up. good job and keep up the great work!

Briana

I think this poem is great. cause somtimes you just dont know. Even though I'm a polar oppoiste of this poem I wish I could be more like that. and not say what is on my mind. A lot of my friends get hurt like that and I dont mean it.

jared

This poem is so true My best friend just transfered to a differnt school because everyone didnt like him People just cant realize what there saying and just go off dissing everybody. Not knowing that it really hurts. My best friend was so hurt and i really feel for him

Laura

This poem is such a 'true-to-life' piece of writing. It has really mad eme think about the way I treat others, and also the way in which others treat me. The poem can work from both point's of view. Thank you!

Sara

This was such a true poem. I could totally relate to it! good job!

arus

hi, you are so right! That's exactly what I always think about. People judge others without knowing what's goin on, & without knowning them. that is so wrong. I think before anyone should make any comments about others, that might be hurtful, they should first find out who they really are. I wish everyone could have your point of view, than less people would get hurt.

Angie

Very very true, thinking is one of the most important elements that keep us close to those we love, thanks for putting ur thoughts in this poem, I loved it!

Laura

I like the poem you wrote and I understand what your trying to say because Im those kind of persons that say what I think but My opinion is that sometimes is better to say what you think because if you dont that means that your being an hipocrate and your also hurting the person because your not telling them te thruth of what you really think.

Dee

Your sorta has something to do with how I am, I always say what's on my mind the minute its there. They call me Streight up Dee, but after reading your poem I guess it changes things a little,thanks.

ella

I'd just like to say , i thought your poem was great. Many people can relate it to troubles in there life. I have a friend who's only 15, suffering from anorexia, and this poem is exactly was i feel. thanx heaps:)

mary

that poem is soo cool. and so true. i said something one time and that person wasnt able to heal and they left me. i guess i should of read this poem b4 i told my friend. cuz if i didnt tell then maybe we would still be friends. but ill never know. but this is a really great poem. keep on writing

Alisa

very true poem!

DeDe

I could relate to this poem, cuz people should think before they say anything, cuz certain feelings and thought you should keep to yourself! :)

Mandy

I want to thank you for writing this wonderful poem. I just wish everyone on the world could read it and understand the message. My father is one of those people who doesn't understand, and sometimes I feel like I can't heal but you help. Thankies.

Lance

I think that was a very good poem. You is very right that what sompeople need to do is think .

Repunzal

Your poem says exactly how I am. I can be a very honest person. And I wish that I wasn't soooo honest. But if I don't say what I feel then I just feel like I am going to blow up. And I know the consequences of it all. But, well, your poem just sort of ..fit.

kenneth

you make good poems just as i figured you would. well see you later.

Angie

your words were all so true. I could understand what you were saying. I enjoyed this very much. You might not know me but you sure did right what i was feeling down. Even if you never find out who i am, I can say i know you, even with those few lines. THANK YOU!
