I truly enjoyed the first two stanzas of this poem. It was all good, but those two had some truly evocative imagery. "My silhouette is being kind to me / when I am freckled and torn"
What a way to start out. Truly, I see a lot of potential in you for being so young. I do, however, feel that the last stanza kind of took away from the rest of it. Most of the poem is written with a more modern feel, but the use of language like 'tis' and 'doth' and 'thee', in that last stanza is a bit jarring. If it had been used throughout the whole poem, it would have been alright. But it felt forced and unnecessary, drawing away from the honesty I felt in the first two stanzas. Other than that, this was a beautifully, honest poem.

I was quite feeling absorbed in the first two stanza perhaps that resulted in the honesty. :-)
While this poem is short, it took me a bit of time (not much but still) to read this because of how thick and dense this really is. I noticed a possible spelling error. If you meant "to sew" then it would be sewn not sown. In the words surrounding it though you mention plants. I'm assuming you really mean sown (which you wrote) but I'm just making sure.
Thanks you for producing such a write!
