Just to Let You Know MAG

By Anonymous

Your butchering words
In the beginning
Went through my head
As a child who listens
To every word you say

Your constant sarcasm
Your words which
I thought were the truth
The never giving up

Just to let you know, Dad
Those butchering words
To me are now worthless
For I know now
It was only your sickness

Punctuation, anyone?

“wow this was very nice it made my day thank you”
“that was a great poem i love u”
your a great writer”
“i have a abuse family too”
“This is a very disturbing peom it really makes me sit here and think. But after i kept reading your work i realized that it is very well writed when it comes to diction, syntax, and structure. Your use of repetition” 

The high standards set by Teen Ink is obviously well established by the thorough checking of grammar, spelling and post quality.
