    Ok, I would really like some tips on how to make my writing better so PLEASE!! any critisism at all, post!
    Here it goes:

    Between life and death

    Gone
    Faded
    My family
    My friends
    Even the blood
    Surrounding me…

    Where am I?
    What am I?
    I can see
    right through me
    As if
    I was
    Nothing…

    I’m alone
    In the dark
    Nothing but my voice
    No echo
    Just cold
    And dead…

    I can see light
    Yes!
    Freedom!
    Still alone
    But there’s echo…

    Am I reviving?
    Am I…alive?
    No
    Just the cruel
    Simple sounds

    They're toying With my brain
    I can’t take it!
    I see others!
    I’m alive!
    In…
    Heaven??? …​

    Okay, well I think it's good, but I'll give u critisism... *cracks knuckles* >D

    lol okay... umm... first of all, the lines are way to short. The poem doesn't flow together smoothly at all. A way you could improve this is by combining a few lines... Example:

    Before:
    Where am I?
    What am I?
    I can see
    right through me
    As if
    I was
    Nothing…


    After:
    Where am I?
    What am I?
    I can see right through me,
    As if I was nothing…


    Your stanzas don't have to be so long... ;D and really, I didn't find much else wrong with the poem. just clean it up a bit to make it flow smoother... I saw alot of feeling in this poem, and that's good... great job! =D
