MY ABYSS
Once a brightly lighted world
Quickly fades to black
That feeling of falling through life’s abyss
Sets in without hope of grasping foothold
A world that seems so perfect
Views quickly change with experience
Experience usually means hardship
The utopian feeling soon fades
Life seems more real as days pass
Life’s perks soon become less perky
God quickly makes you mature
For if you don’t you will be left behind
Once you loose something dear
It never returns
All that’s left are memories

This poem has such a good point, the way you talk about death and how it can affect people is completely true. I love when you use wors like "utopian" and how you tried to lighten it up in the 10th line. Also, the way your lines are broken up makes the poem read really well, and with a definate intent.
