Good, very good. I can feel the emotion, and know its there...I think it can come through so much stronger. Poetry is based on emotion, poems can be very well written and have emotion yet it is hidden, almost blocked out. Even the way it is, its amazing, raw.
"You can't find another me, but I can find a million yous."

"My shadow followed when you walked away and ever since that day my life has never been the same"

I really loved this poem. I thought it was very emotional, and that the slight unclarity (like with who the boy was talking to) was really good. It made me feel sad and I thought it was quite powerful, but I've thought about it and found just one little thing. How come the mother came to have a gun? I was so shocked by the suicide that I didn't really notice this at first, but I thought that (presuming they were an ordinary family and not gangsters or anything) it was unlikely that they would have a gun. Perhaps they are farmers? If so, you could mention that. Or you could just make her stab herself. Anyway, I thought it was a really good emotional poem.
