Hey...first of all, thanks for commenting on my poems and I've just been checking some of yours out. I love this one, can't believe no-one has commented on it! The story your telling appears so sad yet you build it up into something happy and hopeful.

The only part I would personally edit is this:
"You've helped me,
Controlled me,"

I think 'controlled' should be changed to 'guided' instead. The person that befriended her seemed to do it out of kindness and love, but to me, 'controlled' is a word that indicates selfishness. I don't know, probably just me lol :)
