I this poem was a mixture. There were up and downs. Some of the lines were fairly srong, like 'Even if my life was a downhill slope', and there were lines I felt had just been placed there for placement sake, like As I feel my turn around the bend'.
I think this piece could've done will a little more strength behind the lines. Also, there were some points where the flow got a little stumbled, but as I say, there were a few strong lines.
My favourite stanza was the forth one.
