Whats wrong with me?

Is it the fact that i'll never see you again?

How am I meant to live?

Meant to keep sane?

I already feel like killing myself,

I push my face into my pillow and cry every night,

Will you save me if I fall?

Would you catch me,

Or would you let my drown in my tears,

Knowing you'll never love me,

I don't even know what all this means,

Who is this person?

Am I crazy?

Or is this a suicide note...

Not for me,then whom?

I won't die and I never want to,

I want to live!

Someone else's life.........

It is nice, yet depressing, but thats okay because I don't show much emotion. Meloncholy! Anyways, it is pretty good, however, you may want to check the grammer. One sentince or section said my when it was supposed to say me.

OK, so I agree; it's a bit depressing however underwhelming at the same time. Questions can be effective in poetry but too many will just leave the reader feeling mildly annoyed. I would suggest one to open with.

Other than that, I felt that there was no belivable emotion behind the energy. The imagery is too sparse and cliched for me to think you've taken your time to write this.

Hope and Best wishes,

Eimear xx

A lot of questions, though they can be annoying at time, other times can add to the intrigue of the story. I red a poem once that was nothing, but questions. it was wierd, though. You may want to use it in moderation.

like a good meal, moderation is the key

Guys I wrote this as a diary entry when I was really depressed. I am in love with someone at the moment and well that made me really depressed to. Its really about somebody who loves someone but he doesn't love her back.
