I liked this poem a lot Grant, it almost sounded like there was a tint of anger to it because you were referring to another person too throughout the poem, but at the end you say youre proud of who youve become and who you are and I think that thats very important, is to be proud of who you are as a person.. it shows that you basically believe in yourself and are proud of what you are. Great write Grant..

5/5.

Grant,

So many tears behind these words you have written down here.
I am sure she knows by now she was wrong.
It takes so much strength and courage to make something of your life when the one person who should be supporting you isn't...but you did it nonetheless.
Indeed, she can be proud of you:)

*hugs*

5/5 Ingrid

Anger and disappointment that the person, who I take it to be your mother, has never accepted you for who you are or the man you have become. You are saying to her, look at me now, I turned out okay without your help or approval. 5/5

Wow Grant, the hurt crept out through your words distinctly in this one, i felt.
I really loved how you are content with being yourself, thats something to be admired.
I like the message that i took from this poem, i dont know if thats how you intended it, but i took it as, that its their loss for not supporting you, because you turned out just fine without their help.
The strength in your words is incredible. I love the last line, how your far from done.. that was very good and very clever Grant :]
5/5

This poem is really good.

i couldn't possibly pick one section that i liked more than the others, it was all amazing.
it kept my attention the whole time. and even though it was shorter, it was still very strong.

very good job(:
