Do not follow in my depressed shadow" I loved that particular piece. It was heartfelt and I'm sure a lot of people can relate to this poem. Great job.

Do you mind much if I add you to my favorites?

Judging by this, I have to.

Oh my gosh. I absolutely LOVED this... you have alot of talent hun, and I really liked the way you used the words. Incredible and flawless.... great job

I really liked this one. You have a great talent that I think you should keep going the best you can. :)

Oh such a powerful, emotional, and thought provoking write. What a symbolic piece too of how friends stand by each other yet still have to choose how to live their own life. I especially liked the reference to "piggy-back" because that is a childish way to help someone and it really brought the poem to life.
There were a few of lines I think could be better,
"and knees that are covered in scraps
Through our trials we have been abused."
The rhyme in the second line seems forced, and I don't understand the capital letter at the front, with no full stop before it...While I'm on that subject you used full stops a couple of times in the poem and I think it would make the poem neater to use them all the way through, where needed.
The flow was fantastic in this poem and I could read it fluently...until I reached this line
"trials only mean you life is too easy and you need to learn new ways to be strong, to deal." I suggest either shorten it or do something to break it up. Oh and it should be "mean your life is too…"
Overall fantastic poem, sort these errors out and you have a publish worthy poem.

This poem completely deserves the 5.0 rating it has; great message. We can never give up.

Oh, and about 'A Lie and the Truth'... I really don't know what it was about. I started in the middle of it and wrote a few lines, then did the beginning and end. Basically, it's just about the beauty of the truth.
