Let’s begin
I hate you.
You leave your marks
Across my body,
With your sharp edges
And make me live in regret.
Glorify? You?
You are not glorious.
You are a secret.
A feeling.
A nothing.
A pest on my skin
Running down my fingertips.
And there’s nothing glorious about that.

Wow. Alyssa this poem was very deep and meaningful. I thought it was so unique and inspiring the way you took an ode and totally contradicted the purpose of it. I was in awe, this poem is very audacious and bold and it made me think twice. It put real thoughts into my head. Amazing job.
i really like this poem because all things in life arent happy and the title was great. i like who you had someone hurting the speaker then the speaker being strong and saying it doesnt effect them.
Lyssa, this really hit me hard. I've been hearing about a lot of abuse cases lately. I like how you attacked a serious issue facing our world today. The way you arranged your words, I could feel the hatred - you wrote this very well. As I read this, despise for anyone who does this flows through me. It's disappointing to believe that people could actually do this to other people. It reminded me of a book I read a little while ago.
hi, alyssa. i'm an english teacher with a blog of my own, and i like poetry a lot. i just wanted to say that this was a really amazing and personal work, and i admire you for writing and sharing it. i hope you keep writing poetry, because you clearly have a gift for it.
I wish I could think of something this amazing. Wait, it was more than amazing. It's like, uhgdsslkfjs.fkhfjkh. That means amazing times infinity. I'm still not sure what to say. Stuff is just racing through my brain. This poem was better than basically all the professionally published poems I looked at tp put in my anthology. I loved the contadiction, because I like irony. But this poem also had some serious emotion in it. I really liked how the speaker is just such a strong person, and maybe that reflects how you are. wOw!
Wow Alyssa.
This poem is deep. I enjoyed readin it very much. It was insprining. I also loved how you did an anti-ode. It put a twist on things. I think you are a very talented writer, CONTINUE PLEASE?!!
Okay just within the first two lines I'm hit, hard. You throw so much emotion into such a short poem and I can feel everything. Its truly powerful.
I think you did A wonderful job of describing your thoughts in this poem. I really enjoyed it a lot.I also liked the fact that you said you wrote an ode and you reall had it become a free verse.
