Me, Simply Me.
Open Arms, Open Ears, and an Open Heart
Impossible, Incredible, Intellectual
Sister of Bailey; my world, my life
Daughter of broken promises and intricate lies
Who endlessly loves all that truly love
And who promises to always be there for the ones who aren’t afraid to be there for me
Who believes in pinky promises, recess, and being madly in love
Who fears abandonment, deep secrets and continuous failure
And who would kill to please everyone in one fell swoop
Who wishes to shield “my girls” from any harm that comes their way as they blossom
And to help them learn from my many mistakes
Who creates from the deep thoughts in the back of my mind and molds them into words on paper
Who wonders when sweatpants will be sexy, boys will stop lying, and hearts will cease to break
Who dreams of someone who will keep their promises, except me for who I am, and need me forever
Who always remembers that “friends are for now and family is forever”
And who, in her eyes, is all she can be.

awe thanks hun it's really no problem!:) it's a pretty poem! you have some awesome potential :) i'll deffkeep reading :)
when you get a chance, check out more of my work :)
i really like this, but one thing i notice is you are refrencing yourself as "she" and "me." i think the poem would be sooo much better if you kept it as "her" "she," i think it would be a better flow especially since you are using "who..."
but other than that, this is a really good poem :) keep it up!
