    Aww wow this was a very heartfelt piece of work. It reminds me of so many people I know who have tried to commit suicide, or are currently looking for reasons to live. The ending was beautiful, a complete powerful blow in the face. Thank you for your comments on my poems. Keep up your excellent work! 5/5

    I was very interested in this poem because of the title, but I was worrying it might be a suicide poem - I am so relieved to find this, and not just relieved, quite impressed.

    "Even further than the ground,
    To a pit of darkness so deep,
    You will never climb out."

    That reminded me of 'His Dark Materials' - and the fate of Lyra's parents - but I digress, sorry. It did leave me with quite a thought, to fall for eternity, never hitting the ground. Scary.

    "This is my question.
    How do you want to die?

    And my answer is;
    Not yet."

    I absolutely adore that. Maybe because it's refreshing to read that someone wants to live, and not die, or maybe because it's just the perfect ending to your poem. Probably a bit of both.

    I have no fault, no criticism, no negativity at all. Great piece, well done. x

    I liked this poem. It was original. My favorite part of the poem was the very last 2 lines:

    "And my answer is;
    Not yet. "

    Great way to end it. It was a lovely poem. The flow was pretty good and the message behind the words was amazing. Overall rating: 4/5. Good work. Keep writing!
