Haha! Haven't we all been here! I can so relate to this poem! Thanks for sharing...: -)
Superb with rhythm and rhyme. Thought flow of content great! Enjoyed your write! !

Fantastic metaphor of poetry as a child and some are truly terrible for me I wish I could just delet them -but they were part of me somehow. Wonderful, thought -provoking and inspiring write, brilliant form and flow.

I really like this poem and can completely relate. I think you are an awesome poet. Sometimes, in other people's poetry, the words go over my head and i don't quite get what they are trying to say. I really like your style, very straightforward and easy to comprehend.
An insightful poem written with conviction....
