I really liked this poem... But remember you can reach your dreams if you dont let what people say or do get into your way. Good Job! ! -Shell

Crystal, if i'm not wrong, i see in your poem a strong sense of disdain for all the negative criticism heaped on to you.I also sense that it is through your poetry you will learn to rise above it and find a sense of achievement.I wish you the very best in life....

Crystal, great form and structure. The fourth line (1st verse) says it all for me, : If you don't try then there is no chance of sucess. I suspect that you are not in agreement with the sentiments that are expressed, especially in the last verse, or else why would you be submitting your work to our scrutiny. I think that these are things that have been said to you. If I could make a suggestion: perhaps you could make it more clear (assuming I have interpreted this correctly) by ending on an optimistic note. There realy is nothing wrong with saying how great you are if you have the talent to back it up. And you have that alright. Warmest regards, Denis Joe

well written in form...but I don't agree with the contents ;) we can reach the sky, in so many ways...and some dreams can come true...I hope one day you'll find out how ;)

hey wow! its good! ! its so true as wel..so many people nowadays dont bother trying, idealism is being so crushed under realism, and its so sad - why do people stop dreaming? why, after we reach a certain age, do we no longer reach out for something that we yearn for with our whole hearts...cynicism replaces the childish naivety where you believe that you be whatever you want to be - lets hope your poem encourages people to touch the stars!

I think a lot of people will be touched by this one, Crystal. Thanks for sharing!

Well written, Crystal, but I hope it's not true!

Reach for the sky....don't let anyone hold you back! ! !

You write so much of how I felt growing up......You have alot of strength and that's showing through in your poems. I think you'll be something! I don't listen to the people that have told me I couldn't make it.....I love a challenge. Sincerely, Mary
