As tears fall down my face,
I feel so out of place,
Every on else chooses to smile,
I myself haven't for a while.

As tears fall,
As rivers flow,
I feel so small,
Will any one know?

As tears fall,
I think about dying,
Just sitting all alone,
Crying and crying.

As tears fall,
I think of you,
Got me thinking,
Should I laugh,
Should I cry,
Should I live,
Or should I die?

As tears fall down,
I too hit the ground,
The pain is to great,
With out you around.

This poem is truly beautiful. You captured the emotions perfectly. The only criticism i have is that in the second to last line, "' to great'" should be "' too great'". Nothing too major. (: BRILLIANT piece though.

And I would really appriciate it if you could maybe check out one of my pieces and tell me what you think. Any advice that you could give would be greatly appriciated.
