I really liked this poem, and how you you portrayed herself and her 'other side' I guess I would call it. I felt, though, that it was a little long. I think that you could have summed this whole poem up in a few lines...and it would be saying the same thing, just differently. There were a couple of times in the poem where /I/ would have stopped if I were the author, but I'm not. We all have different styles of writing. However, this is just me and you don't have to take my advice. Other than that I thouroghly enjoyed this poem.

wow, that was really really good, really deep.

This poem is great, and in fact it really made me think. I have sometimes managed to turn into the people I hate, by judging others. I know you said you appreciated flames, but everything of yours I have read is so REAL that I couldn't possibly. Review some of my stuff, if you would. I would love to have anything from you, even flames.

Lovely job, and such a true statement. So often the people you despise are just a version of the you that you used to hate. -kif-

sometimes it's not even that long ago.

this is gorgeous. like it a lot.

the other one could be is that the people who hated back then is who you are now. i don't know if thats how i describle myself or not, but close i guess...

that was great. i loved it.

GeN!

That kicked ass. It hit home, very descript. Keep writing!

touching, excellent. Masterpiece.

enough said.
