Deep inside me
where my soul won't venture
my agony mates with my fear
the forsaken thoughts consume me
drenching me with my own tears
Some day soon
I will learn the art of bravery
but until then
my thoughts of abandonment
will haunt my mind
Fighting with my broken spirit
perhaps someday acceptance will take me
making my fear a bad memory
so that maybe I can gather my courage
so that maybe I can mend my shattered spirit
so that maybe once again I can be whole.

this was well written and a good piece.
my only problem with it though is that you were a bit overdramatic. part of poetry is being able to express emotion and still be subtle. I think I would have liked this more if it weren't so over the top.
goodluck!
