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.

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 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.
