kt this sorta goes w/what we were talkin bout today in spanish o wel if it sux i dont care

Salt tears
Letting go
Releasing fears
I’ll never know
How do you cry
Do you just let break free
I wish I could die
I know you don’t agree
But you don’t like to see me
In such pain
It’s never that easy
You try to explain
But I’ll never know
How to release my fears
Or how to let go
Of these painful salt tears

Wonderful rhyme scheme!  I loved the way this poem flowed, really excellent work.

Sometimes, the things that go unsaid are the only things worth hearing.

T'was okay, but I thought the flow was injured in a few spots, where you increased your syllable count.  Try to keep the syll count low on each line to keep the flow in tact.

I really liked this.
Thought you did so well on it.
Great job!

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
