I am so deeply impressed by this poem!
The only thing that bothered me was the fact that every line started with a cap. If you were to change that, the poem would be perfect.
What imagery you used here....so outstanding and touching!
A crumpled tear stained sleeve
Smears remnants of yesterdays tears
Hurt forbidden from friends
Almost hidden from herself
But she is so strong
In a place that is very real
And so, so cruel
^^
this evokes so much sympathy in the readers mind..how she is strong and hiding her tears, so moving..
I give you a five out of five for this gem and my weekly vote, dear girl.
