Today, one of my best friends killed himself. After I recieved the news, I
wrote this poem. This is my way of dealing with one of the harshest
emotional blows in my life. I knew my friend for 12 of my 17 years. Please
return some C&C my way. I would really appreciate.
For anyone who cares, I live in Larimar County, in Colorado. It has the
highest suicide rate among teens in the nation.

My poem is titled "Confusion."

*sigh*...it's a bit hard to say very nicely done with something like this.
Your poem conveys a lot of pain.  I hope you can work it all out.

I got my start writing after one of my friends killed himself.  Three years
later, it's still not easy to deal with.
