like whoa!
nice to see some new open mic talent on rb.
only the people who have been here a while have been dropping good shit lately.

this was a nice peice, Sally. The emotion was definitely felt, and your flow was actually really good. You had next to no wordplay, so try to incorporate metaphors a similes into your verses. When you just write exactly what you want to say, it leaves little for the reader to wonder about. It also makes your rhymes boring after a while. So I would suggest adding some wordplay.
Multies would help you a lot too. A Multi is when you rhyme more than one word with more than one word. So instead of ending every line with a rhymeing word, try ending it with two rhyming words or three.
Once you try all these things out, you will definitely improve.
