I really liked this poem. I totally know what you are talking about!

*claps* AMEN! Lovin' the second verse..."To you I'm just an ugly duckling / But I'm someone else's swan" Lovely, determined, triumphant. And the end is so final and so accusing...quite powerful! Kudos to you, Kris, on another job very well done! ~MJ

** Is someone in the doghouse now? Yeah! Poem's lamenting about stuff, whicich is what a majority of poems do. Very good. ^^

Refreshing.

Wisdom, at last. Others your age would be writing poems longing for love, or lamenting what they've lost.

Very nice. My mother thinks so, too. She was impressed. *Grins and watches Mom dance to an old song* Whe, family!

Cheers.
