This is a small collection of poetry I've written over the past four years of high school.
This first one was based off of Dante's Inferno when I read it freshman year.
Surrounded by the thorn trees and snapping dogs. I lay silent and still. Trees of poisoness thorns scream for salvation. Spoilers scream for help from the Lord. Above are the heretics trapped in tombs of ember. Why did I do it? How did it go though? Laying with the suicides in the seventh circle. Wish that I can take it back. Wish it wasn't true. All I want is a second chance, so I can correct myself. Above my head are the harpies, awaiting for their prey. Can I leave this level of eternal damnation? May I go to limbo where I so rightly belong. But I'm trapped in a tree, screaming for help. May I leave this hell, and go where I belong.

It seems to be very based on Dante's Inferno--you know, you can't really understand it unless you have read some of Dante's Inferno or know a lot about it. Your poem seems to be a good complement to the book, but I haven't read it yet. >.>
However, your last line seems strange and undynamic somehow.
Yeah that was randomly thrown it there, so I could finish the assignment.
Edit more:
If you could only see the truth behind the lies when spoken to your face. If you could only hear that they're laughing behind your back the moment you turn and walk away.
How can you stand being in denial of the world around you? Acting as if everything is perfect when it's far from the fact.
When you finally come to realize the fact that life isn't perfect like you once thought it was. You plot the perfect plan to end it.
Now we watch as you bring the barrel to your head. A shot was fired echoing through the halls. Only not to be heard.
