Criminal Within Me.

I wipe the tears from my eyes,

Wash the blood from my hands.

What have I done?

Why have I done it?

I’ll plead temporarily insane.

If I run now, maybe I won’t get caught.

If I run now maybe I’ll have a chance at life.

When they find me, it’s the end of me.

What will I tell them? My family and friends...

Will they believe me? When i say I don’t know why?

Will they comfort me? When I start to cry?

A nice opening hook. Well structured and smoothly done, but you might want to consider expanding it, sometime in the future. It could be that there is an awful lot more there. I liked it as is though. If farms out so many questions to the reader that they can't help but become a small part of things

A perfet piece, it relays the point of writing perfectly, well done, good read.

[Jock Engelman]

very nice opening and close, exactly what i believe a poem should follow, although i would not class it as being your best work, it is still a very difficult subject to write about..

Sorry this is disturbing for some, i have been watching crime shows all week!

[Wendy Seames Garner]

Well, this is a little disturbing to read, but no matter what happened, her family would always love her. They might be disappointed in her, but they would still love her.

This is really on the edge stuff and scary, dont do it..........

You've written a scary scenario, expressing the inner turmoil of one in conflict with their actions. It's almost like the thoughts of a movie character. Scary.
