I am a poet writing of my pain.
I am a person living a life of shame.
I am your daughter hiding my depression.
I am your sister making a good impression.
I am your friend acting like Im fine.
I am a wisher wishing this life werent mine.
I am a girl who thinks of suicide.
I am a teenager pushing her tears aside.
I am a student who doesnt have a clue.
I am the girl sittin next to you.
I am the one asking you to care.
I am your best friend hoping youll be there.

I was right. This poem is a little less cliche, as it tells of how ANYONE can be suicidal. I like it. It's a little repetitive, but I like it. Just tone it down on the end rhyme. Not every line needs to rhyme with another. Good poem, though. 4/5
