Comment from Goodadvicechan

Excellent

the poem says: "An Ode to my pride
for I'm proud of who I am
to gain self-esteem."

Self-esteem is considered to be important to everyone. Therefore people should be careful in their choice of words not to hurt other people's self-esteem.

Your contest entry says a lot about you, Mystery Author. Good job speaking up for yourself. We all need to do that on occasion and believe it always. I suggest you relabel this as a 575. Best wishes.
Respectfully, Jan
