    First, I can really relate to this poem. I know exactly how it feels to wonder if i should ask for help or just lie there and die. You used a lot of emotion. I was a bit confused because some thing rhymed and some things didn't.

    I got the blade in my hand,
    Ready to press it on my wrist.
    I got tears in my eyes
    And I'm thinking about suicide.
    ^^both I's should be I've

    And bleed till I die.
    ^^um, till should be either until or 'til

    I won't be missed by no one.
    ^^no one I think would sound better as anyone

    Okay other thank those little mistakes I really enjoyed read it. I hope this comment helps you out! You did a great job writing this! Keep it up!

    Keep writing!

    I love how you are trying to capture the intense feelings of someone who is comitting suicide because it makes a powerful poem and that is what I would love to see you make this one into. It is a good poem, but like so many others I have read on this topic (not an insult) even like a few I wrote in my earlier days. I want to see this poem come alive, and make me feel this person's pain.

    One way I try to do this in my own writing is with adjectives (discription words) and a larger vocabulary Ex:

    I have the shimmery matialic blade in my shaking hand,
    ready to press it up against my soft delicate wrist.
    I have tears spilling out of my glassy eyes,
    because all I can comtemplate is my own sucide.

    This is just an example I did now without a lot of thought, but it gives you the idea. I think these tactics would make your poetry a lot stronger anc help you convey the emotion you are trying to.

    Also, figurative lauguage helps in a poem, similes, metaphores and personification being some of the most basic. Ex:

    I have the shimmery metalic blade in my hand,
    reflective like the serface of a lake in the moonlight.

    Ex 2:So I'll lay here in my crimsion blood,
    dripping like water from the heavens on a stormy day.

    Again, just a few basic things that could really spice up your writing and bring it to live. You don't have to take any of the suggestions, they are just some ideas I thought might help you express yourself even more poeticly. Good luck.

    Hey I really like the emotion you conveyed here. I say despite what anyone says, keep it just the way it is. Don't write for anyone else...write for yourself.
