Hi there. Lavvi in to review.

As others have said, when posting a poem like this, especially on YWS, be prepared to back it up. YWS is, in majority, populated by Americans and even the creator is American. I'm not American, but I've loads of friends and family down south. I think, perhaps, you aren't much educated about the States. They have a really bad stereotype, but a lot of stereotypes are harsh, strong and lies. They are constantly eyed critically by the world because they hold so much universal power over commerce and international affairs. Just think, the resident of the USA are all descendants of Brits, the French. All sorts of different European and South American ethnic groups. I find this a harsh way to talk about the Americans. I realise you mean not to attack all Americans, but just be aware ;)

Well written.

Lavvi

As a former (and rather excellent) liar herself, Aru knew that, sometimes, speaking the truth felt like wrenching a thorn out of your side. But doing the opposite meant pretending it wasn't there. And that made every single step ache. It was no way to live.
