Pain,
you can run all you want

but in the end its still there

the pain inside of you

you wishing for it to dissapear

but its still there

no matter what you do

you can cut your rist

or ignore it

but it still there

no matter what you do

the pain is always there

This poem captures the jist of depression, but if you want it to really touch someone, I would add a lot more. there are a few spelling errors, such as "rist" should be spelled "wrist". I know that I have suffered depression, and this, to me, feels kind of like a mockery of it. If you want to really capture the pain and loneliness of depression, add a lot more detail to it and dont repeat yourself so much. i dont want to seem rude, and if i do, im sorry, but that is my take on things. i hope this helped you.

Okay, you have the basics down, but I believe that this poem could be great with some polishing up.
Work on your grammar some. I noticed several words that were misspelled. And others had the wrong word. There They're.
Add some more to it. Put in some more details and emotion. It could be great, it just needs some additions.
If you need a more specific review, or have any questions PM me.
Keep writing, and good luck in the future.

I agree with most of the users above me. It's a good basis, but it is very vague and somewhat bland. Try to spice up your word choice and add more emotion to it. Also, clean up your grammar mistakes.

Depression is a very powerful subject and there are a ton of ways to represent it through poetry. Keep cleaning this one up and you'll have a good work. (:

This is an extremely vague poem. What kind of pain is it, what causes it. It makes you cut your (w)rist, but why.

Your grammatical errors are not intentional by the looks of it and really distract from a poem that cannot stand any sort of mistakes.

Also, your poem three maybe four lines long. Everything else meaningless. Here is your poem.

the pain inside of you

you('re) wishing for it to disa(p)pear

no matter what you do

you can cut your (w)rist

but it(s) still there.

I agree with the user above me. People like meat and potatoes! This wasn't anything but a salad dish. I am not trying to be rude, but if you changed the words around and just felt the poem and let it feel you then this could be great!

This wasn't a very strong poem. it expresses feeling, but i think you could add a lot more. i would say really add a lot more emotion and this could be amazing!
