    Line one is very catchy, crawling into somebodies thoughts....very clever.

    just a few things, the rhyming scheme works well apart from stannza 2 line 2, it stands out compaired to the rest of the poem which works well. I even like how all four lines rhyme in stanza 1 yet you move onto aa bb with the rest of the poem (apart from 4 when you use abba)

    (should stanza 5 line 1 read 'be' rather than 'me')

    overall nice poem with a good message.

    Do you mean, "Don't let there be hope, let it be real."
    Instead of, "Don't let me hope, let it be real"?
    If so, I do think I like that better.

    Thanks for the encouragement! This is the first poem I have ever submitted. :)

    Wow, this is intense, so powerful with emotion, I loved it, I find the way you opened it up into the beginning was very well done, two thumbs up
