    5/5

    "Who cares that I'm hurt. I do.
    Who cares if I cry. I do.
    I will achieve my goal, I'll pay the toll.
    If only to feel alive."

    First I would like to say I like the flow of the poem. Further still I love that after Expressing your depression, you came back at the end (with what I quoted above) with such empowerment. Owning your depression, instead of it owning you.

    Stay strong, keep writing, and I'll keep an eye out for your poetry.

    The sudden change of emotion, fron depression to hopefulness was quite unexpected. Really well-written.

    "Like a shadow, I fall behind."
    Really like this part. you should add more simile and metaphors in your poems, i really like that..

    Overall a nice read and very uplifting. 5/5 :)

    A Powerful poem, there is a lot of conviction in this poem, especially near the end. Your spirit, though down trodden wants to break free.... to finally feel alive.
