:( seriously a very depressing poem... since this is an older poem, i really hope you still don't feel like this...and i hope your mother doesn't make you feel that way either. no matter how many times you fail in life, you have to get back up and prove the world wrong that you can do things right and that you will succeed. there's always bumps down the road, just gotta put it in overdrive and drive over them. :) a great emotional poem. 5/5

Thanks Hannah! (:

My first thoughts on the poem as I started to read was the rhymes and how it reminded me of the way I used to write, and one of my favourite ways to write. I think when we write to release things they seem to come out the same way, force of habit I guess, I know this is the case for me.

In this piece I felt a desperate cry for things to be different and for the depression to ease off. Influences people have on your life are strong but in this poem it has all the negative ones.

Keep on trying and never give up, there are a million other ways that we can try before we give it up. Keep writing.
