It's there Your life on a plate About to be fed to fate All you can do is sit and stare It's still there What it is you don't really know Maybe it's your heart breaking or your decisions screaming back at you like the cries of a disruptive crow You want to get rid of it, but you wouldn't dare It's still sitting there You stare at it and finally realize what it is You want to stand up to it, but that is definitely a miss Is this even fair? It's still there Taunting you with secrets from your past Then you muster up enough courage to say, " Not so fast!" You back down when you realize that it doesn't even really care It's still there Then you look closer Is that what you think it is over there? You see yourself! It's still there Yet it is in pieces You have broken it "You have one the war," with its final breath it declares

A little cryptic and dark but it reads well.
I think many people can relate to it .. Visually effective but the crow line was a great sound effect.
It seemed balanced but you simply wanted it to end more positively,.. I suppose this was the aim of the poem however so you would have to say it was successful.
