Dear you..
This poem started beautifully, but sadly ended disappointingly.
You used beautiful metaphors at the beginning, only that at the end it was cliche.
I want to criticize some things here..
"Swallowin our hopes like they were knives"
^
You mean swallowing right? should change it.
"Walkin the streets like Im lost and confused
Nobody to talk to and nothing left to lose
Contemplating throwin myself in front of a bus
Just to hear the old driver yell and cuss"
^
again, "walking" and "throwing".
"Im" should be "I'm"..I know I'm being too critical but this is important when writing..so bear with me..
The first line needs a dash between "streets" and "like".
The second needs a comma between "to" and "and".
I didn't really like the flow here..rhyme went a bit cliche.
Try to focus on your closures just the same way you focus on your preludes..
Well written =)
Write on~
