I have to go.
I am sorry.
I have failed you all.
My punishment is this.
Moving away.
It's nothing that you or I can't handle.
We'll live through this
Together.
I know you love me,
And I love you too.
Please stay in touch with me?
I don't know whether I'll have Internet,
or anything at all.
But that doesn't stop anything.
We'll still be friends,
I promise you that.
I'm sure all our other friends will comfort us.
Forever.
Friends will be friends.
But no longer are you a friend.
Never again be an acquaintance.
We aren't even besties.
You are part of my family.
I love you dearest,
And I shall never forget you.
Nor will the rest of this family.
Biology means nothing to me now.
Biological family doesn't exist.
I am in your hands,
In your care.
I am helpless.
You back me up,
Support me.
And though we may fight.
Sometimes frequently, sometimes never.
But we are family.
I am so sorry for leaving you behind.
It is beyond my control,
Against my wishes,
Against my dreams,
Against me hopes,
All the way down to against my ethics.
I'm sorry once again for failing you.
But if I could speak out, I would.
Unfortunately, I am bound by chains,
Bound by the laws.
And I can't do it.
I swear that I will come back,
Just you wait.
Though how long it may take,
I do not know.
Just wait.
And trust me,
We will be family once again.
Show me how much you have changed,
How much you have not.
So until we see each other again.
Sorry once again for having failed you,
For not being able to speak out,
But next time,
I will try harder.
I will break the laws that bind me,
Sever the chains that hold me against my will.
I'll be strong with you at my side.
So thank you.
And once again,
I am sorry for having to leave.
Farewell, my friend.

Thank you! It's greatly appreciated.
And some of my poems, though few, may be quite stupid, due to lack of interesting things to write about.

Sad and good poem as well but the only problem was that you put period for every line which should not be the case. Nobody pointed this out to you. You are not making a sentence nor a phrase, there is no need for you to start your sentence in capital. It looks like broken lines. A little re edit to this piece will make it more interesting. Just a suggestion

Ahh why did you have to name the poem after the contest? Now I can't tell whether you commented on the contest itself or the poem! xD
