Your poem is chock full of messages people csn apply to their lives in an attempt to become better.
There were numerous lines I could highlight but let's say that in general each one is significant.
Cheers,
John

There is a good message in this poem. We can't control others, but we can control how we respond to them. We can choose who we want to be, and how we want to be seen. The meter is very irregular, which made the flow a bit bumpy at times, but I liked the theme and tone of the poem.

Thank you, yes I don't know how to write poems in meter form. I just kinda spew out whatever comes to mind that's why a fan story is a fun place to learn how to get better with that. I've never had someone sit down and teach me nor have I taken any classes so I'm just out here on my own having fun. I enjoy challenging myself in the different contests, even though a lot of the same people win over and over and over again.
Thank you for stopping in and reviewing.

Your creative poem expresses a very powerful message. Young people worry about how other people feel about them. When they get older, they realize no one even cared about them or was thinking about them. Other people can hurt you only if you "let them." Congrats on placing in the contest.

This is the best advice one can give but very difficult to practice .People always affect most of us . WE worry what they think of us ..all wasteful thoughts but that habit sticks....Thanks for sharing .

Yes that is so true that it is difficult to just "let them" without it affecting us. Thank you for stopping in and reviewing!

Your poem brings out so many truths, I use to worry about how other thought about me and If I fit in. As I grew older and wiser, I realized that worrying what other thought wasn't worth it.

I love this poem. Your words are so true. Sometimes, it is very hard to not let them bother you. I like the words you used. Well written.

Let them be you or the reverse from the Bible translated in mundane language, don't do to other what you don't like to be done to you. Thank you for sharing and good luck with your writings.

Thank you so much for this review! And you hit it on the nail! Do unto others as you would have them do to you exactly. Amen
Comment from June Sargent
Very wise advise. So much pain can be avoided if we don't give others the power to control or hurt us. Just be true to yourself and don't let others make their issues yours. Life feels much lighter and brighter that way.

Comment from Bill Schott
This summary, Let Them, allows that there are many sad things going on and many people are responding negatively and losing control. They are not you, is what the summary concludes.

Your submission has a very good chance for winning, show or placing. I like the color scheme, and the thesis proposed should be taken seriously. Walking away is a better way than getting in a row and leaving with a black eye.
