    I thought this was a terrific poem. I really enjoyed the rhymes and the message you had to say. The flow was great and everything about this poem was good. There were a few lines that I had to re-read, and I could suggest some alternate lines, but it's up to you if you want to.

    "to learn a lesson of the kind."
    ['the' really throws that line of, maybe try using 'that' instead]

    "I'm writing this in fear of death,
    In fear of breathing my last breath."
    [You used 'in fear' in both the lines and it makes it a bit weak. Maybe try taking out the 'In' in the second line?]

    "me wishing I could live again,"
    [Try using 'I'm' or 'I am' instead of 'me']

    That's all I could suggest, the rest of the poem was amazing. I hope you can win the Weekly Contest with this one. I shall vote for you :)

    Honestly I'm sorry to say it's not my type. To me it felt like it was jumping from style to style...the "voice" if you like behind the words seemed inconsistant to me. Maybe it was because of the length and amount of changes in subject.
    I can read rhyme, but rarely appreciate it so that was another reason why PERSONALLY it wasn't for me. Some rhymes seems a tad erm...clumsy. Maybe you want to change the slang words to proper English???
    Liked the reference to the TV shows; made it more personal.
    Sorry I couldn't be more positive.
    Keep writing.
