I like this piece of poetry, it’s actually quite sweet and I like the imagery in it.
However, I think this would look better if you capitalized your "I"'s as it’s just slightly distracting to the reader. Also I think if you added a bit more structure to it, I believe it would work better as a piece.
I like the rhythmic theme of it though; it’s perfectly placed, though a slight twist in its detail could have worked nicely.
Overall a good piece of poetry.
Well done.

Hey, I like the over all thought of the piece, it's very creative. Just a few silly mistakes:

If I was old enough,
I would drink my sorrows away.
For them to be lost in the haze,
and me to live numbly day by day

If I was small enough,
I would slip off into the night.
I would give up this fight,
Knowing this isn't right.

If I was fast enough,
I would flee from this all
Preventing this great fall
If I love you, or not at all.

If I was strong enough
I would lift us both high
be the base for another try
because the fault was all mine

If I had loved you enough
would this have not existed?
Would we have just dismissed it?
The opportune moment, I missed it.


Just some addition of punctuation and spelling. If you don't like it its ok, its just my opinion. but other then that, good job.

I think it's a cute poem. I will not tell you to capitalize the "i"'s, because i don't do that either. But i think you could edit it a bit to add more rhythm to it. Like the number of sylables in a vers and so on. I liked very much the overall idea of it, the-"If i was strong enough," and "If I was fast enough", but i don't think it's clear what exactly you are talking about- which isn't a bad thing. Sometimes poems are beautiful because they are so mysterious. Nice job.
The strong mind can confront lies and illusions without being lost. The strong heart can withstand the poison of hatred without being harmed.
