There isn't anything I didn't like about any of them. All of the fiction stories were creative and engaging, and I enjoyed reading each and every one of them.

I want to know who this person is. I love how she is happily remembering this person instead of being all emo and saying "Ohhh, whyyy? I'm sad and I'm cryyyying".

I think it's ironic that though she's complaining in the poem of not being able to be creative, she's being quite creative with her word choice.

I don't know, maybe I should read over it more carefully.
