A Letter to You
I'm so disappointed
I thought you were my friend
I thought you were a good person
I thought...
But then you let her fall
You just watched with that great and terrible beautiful smirk on your face
Remember that smirk that used to make me smile?
You used to make me smile
You used to...
But then you let her fall
Fall to the ground, with the sharpest piece of shattered glass struck into her back
You did nothing,
And that's what hurts the most
You're apathetic,
And so cruel
So she falls
and I fall
But we All stand up
Because together, We will stand, We can take you
And we won't let you and your shattered glass tear us down just to watch us fall

I love this poem Emily! My favorite part is when you say "And thats what hurts the most" because it shows emotion and lets the reader know the tone of the poem.
I agree with Jordan. This is a powerful poem. I just cry when I'm trying to express my anger. I like the I thought... You used to... This makes me think that your are so angry that you can not complete your lines. My favorite image is the "sharpest piece of shattered glass struck in her back." The alliteration in the line also creates a strong rhythm and helps the reader feel the glass striking her back and sliding in.
