    This is a poem that is most definitely unique, it's something that I've not seen done on, It also has a really good message. You got points right off the bat for originality.

    We all have dignity we cannot let go
    Doesn't matter if it doesn't or does show.

    -Don't put double negatives so close together if you are going to use them in the same line. Switch it to something like this.

    "Doesn't matter if it does or doesn't show."

    this way the double negatives are spaced further apart.

    Sex, color, height, width, or nationality
    They have nothing to do with dignity.

    This could have ended up being a powerful line. Nationality is two more syllables than dignity, it really throws the flow off. You could true putting "Ethnicity" instead of nationality as "Ethnicity" is only one syllable longer than "Dignity".

    I mean no harm with these suggestions they are just thoughts on how to improve the poem.

    I liked it and felt that it was a very strong poem with a very good message and a solid backbone for the majority of the poem.

    I give it a: 5/5
