    Nice poem Cale. It was different then what I'm used to with your poems which was a nice switch. You never want to seem predictable. I thought the flow was good and the rhyme was neat. Nice work
    5/5

    As i travel through the shadow of death
    With the devil on my back, I can feel his cold breath!

    ^^ You need to capitalize the "i". I've always imagined the "Devil's" breath as hot and not cold, but I like how you did something different.

    I Shall fear no evil, for God is with me.
    Helping me through it, to where I'm suppose to be.

    ^^ Aww, I loved this part, because it's so true, but the rhymes did seem just a tad forced.

    Even though I might sin and fail.
    He sent his son to save me with a cross and a nail.

    ^^ >.< Yep, the rhymes sound forced, but I'm really enjoying the topic. This part really hit me.

    Jesus suffered through blood and pain.
    All for the worlds sins, we are to blame.

    ^^ I think you could have described Jesus' pain more, think The Passion of the Christ. That movie was just wow.. it described his pain so very well.

    I go to church, listen, pray, and sing songs.
    But sometimes I feel like my life's gone wrong.

    ^^ I think you're straying away from the topic a little with these two lines.

    Alot of people come to church because they have to.
    But for me, it seems its the only thing to do.

    ^^ "Alot" needs to be "A lot", always remember a lot is two words. My sixth grade writing teacher drilled that into my head.

    I sometimes feel like I'm lost in sin.
    But God always seems to take me back in.

    ^^ This describes my life so well.. I think you could have made it more intense, but it's very relatable.

    Sins and pressures are around me at school.
    People tell me what to do and whats "Cool".

    ^^ I think you're straying from the topic again in this one.

    Jesus is the way, the truth, and the light.
    And when i follow Him I know I'm doing right.

    ^^ "i" needs to be "I".

    But just stay strong and leave it to Him.
    Jesus will save you no matter where you've been!

    ^^ Aww, I loved the ending, it made me smile.

    Great job for being a new writer! It's way better than some of my first poems. :]

    Keep writing!

    This is a very good poem. Not a lot of people stand up and speak about their faith in God, but you have done that in this amazingly written poem. it deserves more then a 5.
