This is not a bad poem, Dillon, but it could use some polishing. I liked your use of reptition of certain words and phrases, but It's a bit too over done. Three times would be about the max for a poem of this length. From the way this poem flows and reads, I would guess that your were still a teen when you wrote it, simply because it shows.

Still I liked the concept of this poem and it's theme and think you have great poetic promise. Carl.
