Confirmed NEGATIVE


I Might Have Had A Day Or Two... In Cases Where People May Have Gotten To Me... Hurtful Words, Tear-Jerking Rumors With A Guy or Two... Mistakes Turned Into Shameful Stories Or Certain Flaws About Me... But I Learn From Everything I Have Experienced... I Perfect My Flaws && Use Them To My Advantage... Take Those Hurtful Words && Use Them To Encourage... && Realized Lack Of Information Regulates My Unknown Business... I Am A Strong && Smart Madeline, I Know My Limits... I Allow You To Sleep On Me, Think & Believe Whatever You Please... If I Come Across You As Clueless, Your Not On My Level, Far From The Summit... You Only Know Bits && Pieces Because Every Now & Then I Let People In On The Breeze.... I Could Say So Many Reckless Things That Would Stir Up Things About You... But I Choose To Let Stupidity Collide With Stupidity While I Jackhammer My Ambitions && Bring It Back Alive... In The Meantime I'ma Do ME, && Soon I'll Have More Cud For You To Chew So If You Thinking You Touched Down && I'm Outta The Game..Ahhh.... COMFIRMED N e g a t i v e....

A fun read, and the sports reference at the end especially adds a strong touch of defiance and independence. As this is the strongest, clearest metaphor in the poem, you might consider carrying that metaphor throughout the entire poem--frame it all within the context and language of sports and athleticism. Just a suggestion, though--either way, this is still a good poem.
