Living threw life is difficult enough such in a rush to leave high school not knowing where my next landing will be, struggling and stressing at most is where my life stood still a steadily beat one thing after another problems occurring left and right fast decisions you have to make deadlines you have to meet what's next I'm only one in a group of 1000 more competitive people I'm not trying to be on the very top I'm just trying to be the most successful I can be

First off, I can totally relate with this. It is relatable to and has an interesting structure and form. There are a few spelling errors and I do agree with Daniel, perhaps a bit more detail would help. Nice job!

&quot;I would rather hated million times for what i did then loved a million times for what i didn&#039;t do.&quot; - Daniel Moto<br /> &quot; I&#039;ve sought out to be the best i could posibly be but when i hit a roadblock in life what did i do, i had two choices either stay at the roadblock or i take this roadblock and make of it and go around it and achieve my goal. So, what will it be?&quot;- Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &quot;People take love like its a four letter word or just a phrase that you tell people or your friends all the time. But in reality love is much bigger than a merely phrase or 4 letter word. Instead love is a genuine promise or covenant to that special person.&quot;-Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &ldquo;Why change yourself when you were made perfect and wonderfully by the creator of everything?&rdquo; &ndash; Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &ldquo;If live is not hurtin then were really not living in.&rdquo; &ndash; B.

Mhm.....this poem was really intersting the way you wrote was interstng. I liked your ending stanza. My onlu suggestion is maybe adding a tad bit more detail or a hook at the end. Other than that it was awesome
