Well, it's review day and my day! haha
I usually write a lot of review, fairly quickly, on this day. So, let's start!
On the first glance on your poem, I feel like it's really not my type. No matter what happens, how hard life becomes, I'd never do anything what the character in your poem is trying to do.
Also, the structure here isn't really what it should be. You did a great job in making it neater though. But, there's a secret I wanna disclose. Press the "shift" key along with the "enter" key to bring the sentences closer and make a stanza. Try it! I hope you'll like it too.
That's pretty much for the structure and the basic outline. Let's get to the actual poem itself.
Sometimes I grab a knife and hold the blade to my wrist,
Sometimes I think it’s best if I didn’t exist,
But I never asked for your opinion,
So why are you trying to stop me?
Now this stanza has got those slight punctuation errors. You see? You need an exclamation mark or a period after the first two sentences. The commas doesn't suit this. A semicolon may help but don't overuse it!
The third sentence could have been made something like, "But I have not asked for your opinion," At least that's how I feel it should sound like.
Let's now look at the second stanza.
Well, the same mistake. Using commas instead of other punctuation marks.
The rain can only drown with me,
Two errors here.
1. The stanza doesn't end with a comma. Please avoid using too many commas.
2. The sentence is grammatically wrong. Somehow, I am really unable to understand what you meant by it. I am sorry about that.
The commas are excessively used and I hope you avoid using them more that you should be. Overall, it is a super dark poem and I really wonder, at this age, how can you come up with such ideas? It's reality though.
Finally, I would say that I was an amazing poem. Other than those few nitpicks, I really liked it a lot. You have a great potential to become a great poet. Keep writing, good luck and do let me know if you need any help.
