I have some things I need to say
To get off of my chest:

I am not the best,
I am no better than the rest
I tried to be strong,
But inside I felt all wrong.

I tried to help
I really did
I’m sorry I couldn’t be there
When you needed me
I’m sorry I couldn’t open up to you
When you asked me

I'm sorry I made you cry
I'm sorry my life was a lie
There is nothing to justify my actions
Or what I said or did

I'm sorry I snapped
And didn't turn to you
I felt all alone
Even when you were there
I’m sorry I couldn’t admit I was afraid
I’m sorry I was scared

I'm sorry I hurt myself,
I know it hurt you too
But my actions are my own
I did what I needed to do
You no longer needed me
You never really needed me

My soul is free
My body gone
My spirit still with you

I tried my best
It just wasn’t enough
The sun no longer warmed my heart
The way it did you

I hope you’re happy
I want you to be
You meant a lot to me
You all did
I loved you all
So very very much

I am me, and you loved me
Just the way I was
But there were things I could never really say
Could never really do
Even around you

I trusted you
I really did,
I just couldn’t find it in me
You deserve far more than what I gave
I’m sorry I’m in my grave

That was really good. Like, really, really good. It sounds to me like its about someone committing suicide. I can't even find any nitpicks. You wrote this really, really well. It made me tear up. And, trust me, it takes a lot to do that. Wonderful job. :')

Honestly, I think this poem is so-so. It does have a nice rhythm which makes it pleasant to read. However, the wording is vague, almost like a Hallmark card for suicide notes. It doesn't seem like YOU had to be the one to write this. Suicide is a hard theme to tackle without sounding unoriginal. If you wanted to expand upon this theme, you could by looking at darker times in your own life. Who hurt you? How? Why are you so scared? Or you could simply leave this poem alone and go more in depth in your future poetry.

Now don't get me wrong, I think you have talent. I simply think that you can grow by using more original imagery in your future work. Keep writing!

] whoa, love this poem... :) what else can I say? I am not really a good editor, and I don't really have anything to change here.. so good job!
You'll know my story,
But you'll never know my name,
Neither the story of my life.. just yet.

You must never give into despair. Allow yourself to slip down that road, and you surrender to your lowest instincts. In the darkest times, hope is something you give yourself. That is the meaning of inner strength.
