The darkness category fits well with this poem I feel. As you seem to be warning the reader of how "dark" you can be. The title fits perfectly because you used your own life to describe who you are. The vivid description works well here. No fancy metaphors or anything like that. The feelings I get here are you are trying to protect yourself from anyone who comes into your life and you seem to have overcome a lot of things. I gathered that from the rising from the darkness line. You seem to have started finding the light but you know how to defend yourself. You have been through a lot. I liked the last line because I believe that's where the darkness comes in. "The warning" is I might seem sweet but beware because I know how to handle myself. Great short write with lots of meaning!

I think that what Beautiful soul said is pretty much spot on. The only critique is that the centered format makes it feel less like an acrostic and more distracting. Anyway, interesting write.

Very well written. The poem communicates very well through logos, pathos, and ethos. I love how the woman being represented is shown through so many different examples. I also like how it talks about her attacking and yet being guarded. It relates well with the first line.

A very good acrostic poem - really clever. I tried one not long back with just my first name - it was unsurprisingly brief!

I hope you won the contest with this. The 'multiple personalities' were described well in the text. We as people are many things to many people. Your warning to beware of this complexity is a fine one.
