Comments : Where I'm From

    by Poet on the Piano

    This was an interesting poem- the simple repetition of "I am from" was effective and I felt your truths in this poem, you expressed them well, about how unique you are and how others mock you for being different.

    The post-it note stanza hit me; I could easily picture the tiny notes building up from people making comments, calling you names, not realizing they can hurt. And it doesn't do anyone good.

    I loved the maple tree reference in the end...that gave kind of a nature atmosphere yet feeling like you're always climbing in life, moving higher into reality, and not necessarily wanting to do that. Just wanting to take a step back once in a while.

    Neat write, keep it up!
