    You did an amazing job by bringing this
    message across. It is so sad to watch
    young people committing suicide, due to
    depression amongst so many other factors
    such as trying to fit in and being popular
    pear pressure, the fear of being rejected
    and resented because they may act
    different

    This was an amazing poem written for the awareness, dear lord I was in tears the whole time reading this...

    I hate bullies!!!! I hate suicide! I hate everything about both. It breaks my heart people would rather not be here then live a fulfilling life...

    Amazing poem Maryanne! I loved that you chose this awareness to write about, its so important to try to prevent it. Bullying is not something that needs to be over looked :(

    Excellent job

    Love the concept of an echo of gold, Is this about somebody about to jump off a bridge?
    (It's nearly 11pm here so you will have to excuse my increasing ignorance.)
    I like the despair and anger in this, For somebody to even contemplate this then they would have to feel absolutely worthless. I think this comes across very well.
    Just one typo (from it's loved city.) should be 'its'
    Some great imagery arises from lines such as
    that my heart bleeds
    black
    My soul is done with being
    lost among
    what I can't even find.

    I'm only a living nightmare
    to those who know I have
    a heartbeat as a mistake.

    This one especially, (I have heard people being described as a waste of skin before, but never having a heartbeat as a mistake.)
    I really feel for the person in this.
    The tension builds up really well, nice flow in this, no words trip you up.

    aha!! Golden gates, golden gate bridge? told you it is getting late.
