Today, I am a person.
I am stronger than I have been,
I am stronger than I was yesterday.
Yesterday, I was a person.
I was weaker than I am now,
I was weaker but not weak.
Today, I am tearless.
But as was yesterday,
I am not fearless.
Yesterday, I had cried.
But as of today,
I can say I've tried.
Today, I am human.
I fall and break myself,
Only to do it again.
Yesterday, I was human.
I fell and broke myself,
For another time over.
Today, I stood up.
And my feet now stand,
On faulty but solid ground.
Yesterday, I climbed.
My mind had followed,
As words were my ladder.
Today, I am prepared.
Soon, I'll likely miss a step,
And fall right back down.
Yesterday, is a past day.
I've learned how to deal again,
Until a newer impact rises.
Today is who I am,
Yesterday is who I was.
And every day,
That means something new.
I am stronger than I have been,
I am stronger than I was yesterday.
Yesterday, I was a person.
I was weaker than I am now,
I was weaker but not weak.
Today, I am tearless.
But as was yesterday,
I am not fearless.
Yesterday, I had cried.
But as of today,
I can say I've tried.
Today, I am human.
I fall and break myself,
Only to do it again.
Yesterday, I was human.
I fell and broke myself,
For another time over.
Today, I stood up.
And my feet now stand,
On faulty but solid ground.
Yesterday, I climbed.
My mind had followed,
As words were my ladder.
Today, I am prepared.
Soon, I'll likely miss a step,
And fall right back down.
Yesterday, is a past day.
I've learned how to deal again,
Until a newer impact rises.
Today is who I am,
Yesterday is who I was.
And every day,
That means something new.
Literature
All alone
Being surrounded by people
Frightens me deeply
I'd rather be alone
And away from everyone
Alone but not lonely
Here I am
On my own
The way it's supposed to be
Literature
Silent
Sometimes the silence tells a lot
Much more than words ever could
Literature
Helping hand
I'm drowning
In my own misery
I reach out
Searching for a helping hand
But nobody is there
And so I sink
Still trying to reach a hand
That is not there

I feel better enough to say "I'm okay", but not well enough to say "I'm good".
But it's improvement, and that makes me happy.

Vision
Originality Technique ImpactWonderful. The first thing that stands out here is the idea of improvement, the idea that we live and learn and, with that, we geep getting stronger. It's quite inspiring and even beautiful. On more technical terms, it's not very short nor very long, making it well balanced. The layout is simple but it works just fine. In terms of flow, it's quite good, at least when you read it, it sounds fluid and the simple language makes it easier to understand. I must say that it has a deep impact on the reader as well because it's a personal piece and it touches our emotions, creating an instant connection.
To wrap it up, well done and keep getting stonger, OK?
