hi welcome your poem is very good i only have a few...suggestions of my own to fix it up a little.
1)
stepping just sounds like the wrong word for this sentence. try finding a different word for it.I kept on reaching, pulling, stepping.
2)
here you say reach twice. (yes i realize that they are sort of different) it sounds too repetitive and takes away from what you are trying to say right there.I kept on reaching, pulling, stepping.
My foot slipped and I reached for the nearest branch.
3)
this sentence just sounds funny. maybe try something like "It was painfully bleak" or something. (that sounds stupid but it is just an option)It was ice cold, painfully cold.
4)
ok, saying i screamed and then i tried to scream sounds funny. kind of like "OMG I screamed!!!! but i didn't really scream." maybe just saying "beginning to kick viciously, i tried to scream, but nothing came out."Beginning to kick viciously,
I screamed.
I tried to scream,
But nothing came out.
5)
again, it is repetitive and you should try and find some differrent wording for itI wouldn’t let go.
But Darkness wouldn’t let go.
6)
maybe try saying "and i kept holding on" saying "i kept on holing on" sounds like song lyrics.And I kept on holding on.
7) honestly, the ending isn't strong enough. you should try to make it as powerful as the rest of it.
all in all it is really great just change a few things around and it will be awesome hope this helps if you have any questions please pm me
happy writing
