Workshop Poem

I have been struggling with which poem to use for workshop at the end of the semester. I want to use the poem that I wrote for Carrie, which I posted a few weeks back on here. The problem might be when it comes time to edit. I don't know is this poem is too close to me for me to be able to take criticism on it. I am worried I won't be able to change anything because while each line may not be perfect, it reminds me of her. I am willing to give it a shot, but I might have to have a back up poem. No one else had even read this poem other than Carrie and myself until I posted it in this blog. I don't mind people reading it, and I am excited about it because it has a lot of meaning to me. I am excited to see what kind of meaning this poem has when other read it. I just hope that I am able to work on it constructively during the editing process. It was written almost 3 years ago and I had never taken any classes in poetry writing before.
