    When I read it, I felt more like I was sitting in a lecture about self confidence, and self realization. The way you worded things made it seem more like a statement than a poem. There wasn't really a rhythm. Nevertheless, you got what you wanted to say across, plain and simple. Sometimes, that's all you need. Good job.

    Individuality can be an issue in todays society as it has been in the past. We all seem to need to be accepted yet as your poem states so eloquently and simply we are who we are. Individuality can be quite healthy in a profoundly sick society 5>>>>
    the only thing I would change is "The don't know you ' to They don't know you
    unless the y was left out on purpuse
    y="the' why we all want to be quote normal

    This is such a strong and wonderful message. I really agreed with all the words you expressed in this entire poem. They were so real and I could tell they were coming from you. Such a true poem. I enjoyed it dearly. There was at times that you said "you" way too much, but for this poem to work .. you needed that.. Great work!! 5/5

    I didn't like that you started your poem with "You"
    Maybe you can change that to...

    An individual who chooses

    Plus,
    Reading this poem.
    I realize there were a lot of "you"s in there.

    Also.
    Not just good things makes up a person.

    I would've liked to see bad traits in there as well.

    For example,
    Flawsing ones teeth on the table.

    I don't know...
