It's funny, I read Perks of Being a Wallflower a couple of years ago, but I didn't remember this poem at all, but then as soon as I started reading yours I remembered the original poem. I like them both. I like how you didn't give her an A every time, that was a good touch, and how the "that was all she could give/ and nothing else" line repeated. :) I also liked her signing with hearts and love.

Thanks for the R&R.

Wow, I actually like your version better. =]

I liked both poems, though the original one you based yours from seemed to deal more with the idea of reality setting into a young man's life, showing that going through life expecting everything to be perfect can only get you so far and only last so long. Your poem seemed to deal with the slowly settling depression that comes from giving your all and never getting quite as much back as you had gotten before. Though they both ended with similar punchlines (the slashed wrists) which is usually a good indication of depression, I just noticed those slight plot differences. Personally, I liked the poem based off the original more, just because it did hold a more firm order from stanza to stanza, the beginning always talking about the subject writing and giving all they had to give. Also, while much emotion and expression were displayed through both poems, yours seemed to carry the punch a little further...just living in the misery of knowing nobody seems to care anymore, which im sure many of us have felt. So wonderful job painting the picture here. By the way, thank you very much for your reviews as well, I deeply appreciate the input. At His Service,Simple Servant

what a sad poem. But interesting. really comments on the nature of our society. (I like yours better then the orinal actually):)

I like it. Very nice.

It's already been written, but.. great. I've never read the book, and it was especially nice to include the original :)~Lou~ (often, I have a weird way of wording things, but glad you liked mine)

wow, yours is definitly as good as the original and I think I even like it better... well I don't know, I don't quite get what happened to the mother and where exactly the girl was sending the letter, but in ways it all makes more sense when she kills herself... both poems are so sad! don't like the swear, and of course I obviously don't agree with suicide, but over all both poems are great. You're such a good writer!

This is such a gem. I like you're descriptions.
