Do Not Hide Your Eyes

Do not be afraid
Do not hide your eyes
Let them know that you are strong
Leave off your disguise

Find joy in what is real
Do not lose faith for what is not
And of losses at your best
give not a second thought

Forget not who you were
For that is why you are
Each step has great importance
even when it leaves a scar

So do not be afraid
and Do not hide your eyes
When skies are the limit
You must be your skies

    Nice job.I like it,I also think you should leave out the word "for" when I stumbled upon it I was like it would sound better if that little word wasn't there.you did a nice job.Keep up the good work.

    Great poem, loved these lines: Forget not who you were
    For that is why you are, and the final 2 lines. The flow and rhyme were also really good. Well done

    those lines were my favorite. The flow is a bit rough and some lines a bit "overused" but it's a good poem still.

    You must be your skies ... I really like that a lot, but I think it needs tightening. Try leaving out the word for. I don't think the meaning changes and I think it tightens the rhyme. Just a suggestion.
