    :(

    I find it sad when someone looks down on people an much much if it's someone who we know for too long.

    Now tell me darling -
    was it so you could
    feel a little bit
    taller?

    --- I found this stanza, cute because for some reason I'm imagining a child asking that question while looking up to the one whom she is asking. Though, I can also say that it's a bit sarcastic but then again I can say that it's a curios question with optimism in it.
    that's why I love this part the most because however I read it I find different tones.

    I did find the poem sad and it was well written.

    Though your words are very clear to my eyes, I can sense that there is a veil of obscurity around them..

    This made me feel insecure, within because it makes me think of the mistakes I have done without knowing I did.. when you do not intend to belittle anyone (or when you intend). I really like the image: piercing flesh.

    It shows how much pain can this look of disparagement do.

    Beautifully written, Liz.

    This piece is so sad :(

    There are alot of stand out lines in this and it made an excellent read. I could feel the pain behind the poem and your stanza's dug into me like knives.

    5/5

    Liz, I have just finished reading a very sad book, and when I came to read this, It was like reading about the child I just read about in the book. How because she was young, she was made to feel inferior, belittled and treated with disrespect.

    A very good piece of poetry as always, simple yet strong

    It's strange to say something is sad but beautiful at the same time and yet I find this is just that..awesome
