    Great poem... it is sad that this happens to most people when they go away to collge and you did a very good job of putting this to words. I think that the ending was a little off and it could use a better "closing" stanza.. maybe like

    i know that all the great times we had, we just lost into thin-air
    But maybe that was my imagination and they weren't really there....

    I don't know.. i'm not trying to re-write your poem for you.. just helping out!!!! great job! keep it up !:)

    I know that feeling of being away for a little while and it just seems nobody cared that you were gone in the first place. It's good to see you posting poems again, it's about time ;) 5/5 GG23

    I want to do a full body critism :

    I' m writing you this poem to get my feelings out
    I have some things in mind I need to let you know about.

    I know you all don' t miss me and I know you all don' t care
    But I' ve got to get these feelings out so you are all aware.

    *** I absolutely LOVE these lines, they're so amazing and they just get the attention of the reader right away with the boom, bam - rhyme scheme and amazing emotion stuff. (: ***

    I' ve been away at college for just about a year
    And you' ve all continued on as if I was never here.

    *** " . . . as If I was never here." << Now, that goes there perfectly but to me it just sounded odd. There's not much to do about it due to the rhyme scheme, and it fits just fine. But, I thought I'd be completely honest with it ***

    You' ve all forgotten me and the fact that I exist
    What gets me hard and hurts me most is I' m not even missed.

    Not one of you has come to visit or called to just say hi
    I wish I knew back then that it would be my last good-bye.

    *** I LOVE THESE LINES <3 ***

    I must confess that since I left I' ve never felt so alone
    I though that you would help me out, but I' ve been on my own.

    * * * " . . . I`ve never felt so alone" << Maybe try ' I have' instead? It just sounds better because of the flow.

    A place so quiet, a place so new, I don' t think I can make it
    You' ve blocked me out, the silence screams.. I don' t think I can take it.

    So , so-called " friends " .. you are no more.. and this time I
    don' t care
    It' s not like I will miss you . . . because you were never really there.

    *** Amazing ending. (: ***

    The entire poem : is my favorite so far today. (: I'm in love with it 100%, and it's going on my favorite poems. You have such control over the flow and rhyme - yes, there were a few things that I THINK needed changed, but nothing too extreme, and the rest made up for it.

    Keep it up. (:

    'I' ve been away at college for just about a year
    And you' ve all continued on as if I was never here'

    -oh how i no how that one feels. :[
    this is a strong emotional poem, written from the heart no flattery or made flowery just straight out and to the point. thats why i love your poems so much. you have a stereotypical way of writting but with your own flare and twist.

    the ending was jesus, thumbs up! :]

    absolutely loved it. but itll never compared to the one bout your parenst not understanding. :]

    The flow of this was right on and the message powerful. It is sad when someone is not only gone but forgotten. An emotional write. Great job!
