Ok guys, so for Public Speaking, we have to bring in a poem or narrative or well...pretty much anything we wrote. I am now debating between my personal narrative from last year, or this poem. Please give me your HONEST feedback...if it sucks, tell me it sucks; if you like it, tell me you like it. Please and thank you!!!!

TURN THE FLOWERS INTO GOLD
AND THEY'LL HATE YOU MORE
TASTE THE SWEET SCENT OF FREEDOM
...ONLY IT'S NOT SO FREE
TAKE MY SMILE AND TURN IT AROUND
YOU CAN TAKE MY WORLD AND TURN IT UPSIDE DOWN
HEARING YOUR VOICE NO LONGER HELPS ME
IT JUST TURNS MY LAUGHTER INTO TEARS
I HAVE SO MANY ISSUES WITH YOU
YOU ALWAYS BROKE MY TRUST
STUPID ME, I'D BELIEVE YOU AND LET YOU BACK INTO MY WORLD
NOT ANYMORE.
NOW,MAYBE, YOU'LL MISS ME...MAYBE YOU'LL CARE...MAYBE YOU'LL REALIZE HOW I WAS ALWAYS THERE
HOW I ALWAYS LET YOU VENT ON ME AND BRING ME DOWN
AND HOW I ALWAYS CAME BACK TO YOU EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE NEVER AROUND
BUT I KIND OF DOUBT IT, AND THAT'S O.K., I REALIZE HOW DUMB I AM TO THINK THIS WOULD WORK ANYWAY.
