Author notes
ehhhhhhh.
You can't tell because of the dirty-pretty-ness and the bby etc, but it's about my mother (the reason for my eating issues :/ ).
Inspired by the song "Pieces" by Sum41.

This is really really good. Alot of emotion and i like the emphasis you used on words. My favorite part is "you b/r/o/k/e me bby and while i tried to pick up the p i e c e s , you told me i was nOtHiNg ;; search between the clichés and , sweetie,,, you’ll find that we’re

I love that, and I think dirty pretty rocks.
The only Issue I have with it is that you don't use the whole word.
bby... is that baby? be back yet? boris becker yells?
I dunno.
Other than that, the poem rocks, and IO love the last line. It's so sad! -
I've learnt that the more you try to be someone else, the less you are like you... the less you are like you, the less you'll be unique & although being in the 'clique' is good in some ways, it wont help when the fad has died & you're just a nobody against a lonely curtain call. Loving someone, sometimes makes you do stupid things, like believe you need to be someone else, but if they care they'll like you for you and you only.
