I loved the idea of this poem because you started it with how you are done putting the effort forth without the other person putting in any effort at all and then I like how you changed it near the end when you started to say start, so you are starting over and fresh and thinking about what you really want. So very nice write on this one also.

Now that's what I'm talking about. :P No I thought this was another great poem. Nice write. :)

What I liked the most about this poem is the determination, the standing tall and never allowing someone to pull you under. You speak words that boast others courage. Awesome

Nicely done. Most ppl don't like repetition in poems but you made it work for you
