  This poem is incredibly moving and beautifully written. You have a real talent for capturing complex emotions and painting vivid pictures with your words. I was deeply moved by the story of this girl born inside a boy - the pain, the struggle, and the eventual resolution are all so powerfully conveyed.
  
  I appreciate the honesty and vulnerability in your writing, and your ability to weave together both the sad and the hopeful parts of this story. Your imagery is also very strong - I can easily picture this girl's two lives, her sadness, and her eventual realization that her family is not defined by blood but by something much stronger.
  
  If I had one suggestion for improvement, it would be to perhaps delve a little deeper into the emotions and motivations of the other characters in the story. While the focus is understandably on the protagonist, it would be interesting to see more exploration of how her family members (both biological and chosen) are feeling and why.
  
  Overall, I think this is a very powerful and moving poem that demonstrates great skill and emotional depth. I look forward to seeing more of your work in the future! more »

  At times someone not of blood loves us more than those related. If I read this poem correctly, there is something of that here.
  What this poem represents can bring up a huge debate.
