It was really touching. Had a lot of feeling and the rhyme was extravagant. It's like a song to my ears.

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.
