I Am A Mess Poem by Katty Briones

My fighting, ridiculing family .............i can see in this line why anyone would be reluctant to confide with family members, especially if they have been ridiculing due to your appearance, poor grades, or whatever. but you might be pleasantly-surprised by their response. you mention wearing hand-me-downs. so maybe you have an older sister/brother who has had similar feelings of inadequacy (or not) and could help by listening and maybe even have good suggestions to help you. [i've sent you a long message also, with other suggestions.] as for the poem structure etc. ............put apostrophes in can't (can not) and it's (it is, or it has) ........unless that is just your style. it's a nicely-flowing, well-written piece. it tells it all without too much detail. thanks, Katty, for sharing. :) bri
