Thanks for helping educate me! -
wow! this is an amazing write!
I can totally relate
great job!

-
WOW!! I want to quote you in this comment, but I don't know which part to pick... Possibly the bit about the splintered tongue, that was really creative! Absolutely astounding dirty pretty. Amazing story. It's so raw and emotional. Good luck and thanks so very much for entering [=

Actually, I like Dirty Pretty, and I just liked the way you used your punctuation for adding an extra meaning or more strength to your words. I just hope you'll be constant with the next rounds. Congratulations.

Wow
Good luck !

LOVEDDDDD it.. this is what dirty pretty is all about. So real. So full of emotion. So flawed because life isn't perfect and we all have flaws.
Gorgeous write
Thanks for entering & best of luck
-
I LOVE THIS PIECE.
-
good luck.
-
It was a bit over punctuated in my
opinion,the whole look of it just made it seem
messy,also i would have liked to see a bit more emphasis
on the eating disorder theme.good luck and thank you for entering. -
how'd you make the letters upside down?

Beautiful. I really liked this poem.

Definitely my faveee part of the poem. Especially the ǝpısdn d o w n thinggg =) Very creative. Thanks for entering & I wish you the best of luck ! ♥ -
very nice... sinnocense. I really like the upside down part, especially. Great visual. Congrats on the greenman ♥
-
I like this. I really like this.
Except with the two words:
g/o/r/g/e/o/u/s
*b*a*b*y*
which seemed a bit overpunctuated.
Thanks for entering and best of luck.

I really can relate and sorry you've had to go through this, so have I...all my exes said I was beautiful but then they'd say I was a liar, or a cheater or too fat, it really hurts.
-
I like your use of the dirty pretty style. It really gets across the story. Some of your word choice is unique also.
Thankyou for entering. Great write.
-
i really really liked this. i normally dont like dirty pretty but you did a really good job with it
-
This was really cool. I lvoe the message behind it, and the way you put it on the page. I must say without the dirty-pretty the poem would be extremely blah. So I am super glad you added it!!! I really like the poem, don't get me wrong.

So fckin beautiful babyy ♥ This really hit me hard k thnx and i bet if i saw you u'd be the most adorable thing stfu it's AMAZING <3
Thanks 4 the entry

I really like your poem,
at first I was like oh-no, how in the world am I going to make something out of this. But as I read it, it was really very good and not hard to understand at all. Just remember that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. If you believe that you are beautiful, then you are. Who care what others think.
Don't starve your self for anyone. Live and enjoy your life, is what I say.
Great job...
Loveandblessings2u & yours always

good luck in my contest.

Wow I really like this piece. I can so relate since i've had an eating disorder when i was younger. Nicely written. I admire those who manage to write dirty pretty so well.
Thank you for entering my contest. I wish you the best of luck.

this is wonderful, I love much of the visual aspect, like upside down being upside down!
-
Wow!! I don't usually read dirty pretty but this was really really good!!!
I suffered from bulimia for 20 years on and off so I felt the last part..
This is sad hun... the hurt other people can cause from their words...
-
love it
some poetry, is meant to be enjoyed. I had fun looking at your poem. Visual word play, I wanna try it some day. Good luck in the contest. You were creative
-
I loved this piece...people can be just hypocrites...
-
I soooo don't get dirty pretty. It just looks like poetry with cool typing effects.... Either way. I liked the poem. Like I said... Don't understand dirty pretty but I loved the poem beneath that.

i love it...its cute... i love the part ...

Mmk, so I had to go the other day, never had a chance to write HOW AWESOME this is.

Dead Star--x -
So this is dirty pretty, I always here about here on AP but never knew what it was. I like this abstract and randomness of this form. All in all very unique and intresting. I am going to have this style.
-
wow i love this--i thik this is amazing and so well written and its a good topic too
-
i loveeeeeeeeeed this.
-
Oh god.. I don't know what to say except, That was awesome!

I love it, oh my god. I feel like I can totally relate to this poem.
"You.told.me.I.was
g/o/r/g/e/o/u/s
*b*a*b*y*
But then you said [my body] is too big."
I hate fuckers who do shit like that. >.< Amazingly put though, I totally dig it :]
Stellar poem darling, best of luck to you in the contest!
-
she typed upside down by typing letters like n instead of u, so that it looked upside down. very ingenious if you ask me. and i think this is a great write, i love it... and i relate to it a lot. i'm not s kinny girl and i have the same problem with just about every guy i meet.
-
I want to know how you typed upside down. That was awesome. Good job with the poem.
-
Um..Girl I don't even no what to say, this was beautiful. Like..I loved it and it was sad of course. Great job babe!! Thanks for entering and good luck!

-

And the way you structured it was interesting and made it even more enjoyable to read.
The emotion conveyed and your connection with this piece is excellent.
