Terrible am I,
To leave this world behind me,
But I've nothing left.

Ahhh very sad, but I've often found myself feeling this way also. Can't really critique, but I do like it.

Thought Provoking
Hello Rye
I hope this note greets you with a happy heart.I sure hope that this is only your muse speaking and not your true feelings, because to me this poem reads of wanting to leave this world,and you feel terrible about wanting to do this, because deep down, you know it's a terrible thing to want to do... but you feel that you have nothing left in this world to keep you here, am I reading your poem right? because if so, then in my eyes, this is a great write,and I can relate to every word written.
I wish you all the best in the contest

Like it.
I only question the first line. If there is nothing to hold you to this world, why would you be terrible to leave it? (loathe, reluctant, unhappily and anguish). It would alter slightly line 2. Line 3 I think is perfect.
