there is no order to this place
notions travel through my brain
distraught look upon my face
there is no way out of the rain

every time I'm looking up
i come falling down again
i ask the voices to shut up
they say to dive right in

paralyzed and falling down
my knees fall to the floor
i am lying on the ground
death is laughing at my door

no, i cant come out and play
for now, my place is inside
smoke my mind and fade away
it appears that i have died

Dear Blazed,

Please do not consider this in any way but what it intends.  I get the poem except for the last few lines.  Though i am not able to point to the exact problem, i feel somehow after all those feelings that you expressed, somehow as though this was a hasty ending.  Also this poem sounded like many i have read - i guess you kind of pick up on the same kind of words to express yourself since you are familiar with them.  May be you could change a few of them, for example - my knees fall to the ground, (or) notions travel through my brain.  I hope you got what i am saying.  What you were trying to say came through, but as i said earlier, the words you used to say them sounded reused.  Please take this as a note frome someone who loves poetry.

I really enjoyed reading this poem.  I'm not sure i understand it though.  I think that maybe you could be more clear throughout the whole thing.
"no, i cant come out and play
for now, my place is inside
smoke my mind and fade away"

i loved how you used 'come out and play' in this
good poem!
