i wrote this because,sometimes teens feel like they don't belong, like there not here.so this is a poem to show your here you matter,stand up and show everyone who you are,not who you try to be.

i love this poem and what it says. its a good message to get out. i would recommend pressing enter once in a while instead of writing it like a run on sentence.

suggestion:

i matter

i count

im somebody too

stop leaving me out

I'm a person

I feel

I'm a voice

I speak

I have a heart

that has a missing piece

are you hearing me?

im not studdering

im making it very clear

that i matter

and im here

i have a place on this earth

you make me feel like i dont

already time to go?

i havent finished life

or made a start

but if you want me to leave

alright im gone

pick it

drop it off

leave it there

so long...

 

 

its a beautiful poem. thats just a suggestion to making ti easier to read. youve got talent selena!

One last thing, I would at least suggest commas, so it's easier to read, if you want to keep the format.

I loved the message you sent in this, and wonderment is right, it is very relatable, especially for teens, so kudos for you on that. However, I'm not a big fan of the paragraph format -- it's a poem, so there should be lines (that's my opinion btw). Also, "studdering" should be "stuttering," "im" should be "i'm", and "have'nt" should be "haven't." other than that, nice job!

I like this.  Its very realtable cause lots of people feel that way. I like how relatable it is.  The only thing I don't like is the paragraph format, its hard and a bit werid when poetry is in a paragraph form. Other than that its a total Plus and thumbs up.
