&quot;Hope is the worst of evils, for it prolongs the torments of man.&quot;<br /> &quot;You don&#039;t really understand human nature unless you know why a child on a merry-go-round will wave at his parents every time around -- and why his parents will always wave back.&quot;<br /> Life is a game, play it....Life is too precious, do not destroy it.&quot;<br /> &quot;Experience is a brutal teacher, but you learn. My God, do you learn.&quot;

the tears bulid up in my eyes and then slowly roll down my face and down the curvature of my cheek and drips off the end of my chin

it feels like ive cried a river but my tears are gone and i havent smiled in days because crying is the sign of weakness so instead of crying i run... run... run.. i never let anyone know what is bothering me i just fade away int the darkness...

She wants to die. She wants to disappear, to be remembered no more. She wants so terribly to be forgotten, all her mistakes, all her failures, everything. Her name to be wiped free from all record of existence. Because is it really existing when you&rsquo;ve got nothing to show for your life?

I have a bit of criticism.

1.  Your grammar.  Please, please, please work on it.

Other than that, good job!  I love the message behind your poem.

how true this is... i've gotta say, i've felt like this before, as i'm sure all teens have, and i'm just... well...

kudos to you for going with run-ons for this poem. there is no better way to write that than scrambling rambling sentences.
