Love me for me

For structure, the comment was on variation in the length of the stanzas— from one line to two to three—to give engaging texture to the poem. Considering this, I changed the structure to make it look more mirrored. By which I mean the layout of the stanzas below earlier was 2,3,1,2,2,3,2,2 whereas they were rearranged to 2,3,2,1,2,3,2. This format helped emphasize an important idea in the middle, and even at the end. This kind of structuring was new to me and going forward it will help me with the flow of the poem.
