"Big"

"BIG"
That was the word you used to describe me.
"BIG"
I was only twelve years old.
"BIG"
Seeing you in the halls terrified me.
"BIG"
You made me insecure.
"BIG"
I was afraid to go to school.
"BIG"

    The structure of this poem is really smart, breaking each line up with the word "BIG" then giving more of an explanation creates a personal story that is specific, yet open to interpretation. As as suggestion, you could include more details about exactly how that person impacted you to tell more of a story. Really good poem!
