Hello,
I looked for your poem for Hour 5 and couldn’t find it. I came across this, however, and identified with your young self. I like this for your submission to the anthology. Could you add a bit more about the relationships between the audience “we” and your young teenage self? Early you write “But we still fall in love with you.” Other places you could add a version of this — “and we stand in awe of you” or “and we sigh with you” or any other comment you find true of your teenage experience.
