    Hmm...What can I say about this one. I found it to be like it was trying to make me think that suicide was alright in the beginning, which I don't usually like so much because I know now that there's always hope and a reason to stay strong, but I still find alot of meaning to poems such as this. So I read on, and soon it turned out to be something that reminds people that suicide just isn't the way to go - which is a good thing. And then the end was like a sense of false security about the whole not committing suicide thing, because you also reminded them that the pain will always remain...
    Well I'm sure you know all this, I'm just trying to clear it out in my head to see what I think about it. But I don't know. I mean it's really great, and obviously if it can make me think about it, then you've got something going... It's just depressing, aswell as a good message - which is much different than what one could expect. You know? Anyway, over all it was another good piece! There's nothing about it I would change really. Not even the structure -the spaces made the rhythm alot more dramatic. Nice thinking there!

    Wow this is really good.. It wasn't what I had expected it to be from the first part, but I love the way that you ended it because that is so true! Great job on this! It really sends out a powerful message!

    This is a short poem, but still your message is very clear, and so true. There's many things we can do to escape from our problems and the things we're afraid of, but that's not the cure, that's not what we need. We need to find our own way to deal with pain and trouble, even if it's hard.

    Good job!
