Nice poem

I'm in Guam but I'm from California. There appears to be a poem derivative of this using some same lines and stylized with some black youth verbage and subjects. It was so good that it brought me to tears. So I googled its first 2 lines which took me here

this poem was amazing! i related so much

I really love this poem, since it really touched me on a personal level. It wasn't my mom that told me the harsh words, but myself. I shared this poem with my friends, and I am meaning to perform it someday when given a chance. Thank you, Maia Mayor!

I became so intrigued with the point of view of this poem and am deciding to analyze it in depth for college literary essay assignment.

I love this poem. I wrote one kinda like this, actually. It's the things I hear in my head from the people around me. Same tone, different words.

I can relate so much no matter how hard i try to make my mom proud. Its never enough

She is so inspirational! I love you Maia! You inspire me to be a poet.

Maia, you are a very good actress too. Keep it up, my friend. That's beautiful.

A perfect start indeed. Thanks
