wipe your tears

stop fucking crying

you're worth more than that

don't let your makeup streak

-

keep your chin up

don't let them see the hell in your eyes

you're a better at acting than that

don't let your smile falter

-

glue your heart together

and stop caring so goddamned much

you can breathe without their help

don't let your scars show

-

set your own standards

stop trying to raise to their shitty level

you can raise their expectations

don't let your ego be unsettled

-

do what you want

buy yourself some damn starbucks

you don't need permission

don't let your independence dissapear

-

build a castle

where no one can tear down your walls

becuase you don't need anyone

you do not need anyone

Hello, Nire is here to review.

The title of your piece is really good and I almost loved it! The subject you have chosen, is nice too. I had a great feeling while I was reading it. You have used a nice pattern too. There are couple of lines which I found interesting enough. If only I can mention them..

glue your heart together

and stop caring so goddamned much

you can breathe without their help

don't let your scars show



And

build a castle

where no one can tear down your walls

because you don't need anyone

you do not need anyone



Anyway, I really think you have written this poetry in a hurry. Don't you think? Here's why-

don't let your independence dissapear

Dissapear

And,
becuase you don't need anyone

Becuase


And again, I'm confused about this line:

stop trying to raise to their shitty level



Did you actually want to use "Raise?" As this word is showing some different meaning to me. Whatever, it was a nice read and inspirational.

Hope you'll edit the few errors you've made!

that was some good encouragement for a broken heart. personally i feel even myself in need of something similar and positive so i felt a good connection to this poem
however i suggest some points which needs some thought like-
"glue your heart together"- you may use instead_ " stick the broken pieces of your heart"
i like the expression you used here just the work 'glue" seemed quiet childish.
"don't let your independence disappear" -" the work disappear" sounds off to my ear. i would rather suggest use the word " surrender"
overall, i liked your poem. you have quite good potential and a pain, either of which leads to good poetry. i would be looking forward to see more of your works.
keep writing
