I loved it. As I said "It's You". That last stanza seems a little different hehehe. It all flows great though.

Great poem

Nicely done, perfect ending...

"blue eyes crystal clear
free of all pain
paint washed away
she smiles true again"
^^^ This is my favorite stanza. Especially the "paint washed away" line.

That is very powerful.
the flow was great.
and i wish i could feel more optimistic like that.

This poem is fantastic, very deep with greatly expressed feelings. I like it from the beginning to the end, especially the choice of words through the whole piece.

Aw, this is like the sequel to the little lost girl, what a really uplifting poem. I think it so good to have this as an opposite of the previous one. I think this is realistic to show how we can go from one place to another, and how they can truly be so different, so contrasting. I like how you have mentioned the shield again, and how you no longer need it, I think this symbol itself shows how strong you became, Perhaps you found something in your life to protect you better than the shield, and that letting go of the past made you no longer need to hide. The feeling of lost has certainly disappeared in this poem, and I think it is a good reminder to keep for on those dark days when we do feel lost and wonder if we will ever feel free again.

Beautiful. And I really think your title choice was perfect.
