am I good at poetry?

[Ace J]

Look up, look down,
What do you see?

Airplanes soar through the sky,
calling the unknown birds, saying
I'm bigger than you!

Trees loom over me,
with peeling bark and rotten
stumps looking all ugly, but
laughing at what I look like.

People seem so small but really,
with feelings,
They are as big as the universe.

If our feelings showed like clothing you could hear us walking from miles away.

We feel like 300 pound monsters,
but really,the people who
laugh, tease, and taunt are
300 pound monsters too.

Everyone has feelings,
and sometimes they get overpowered by them.
Some people aren't strong enough
to become more powerful than their feelings.

Those people are the bully's.
They are the ones who aren't strong
enough to hold their feelings.
So, who really are the strong tough ones?
