Question:
Is this a good poem?
Oblivion
Is oblivion darkness?
Is it dank and wet, the scent of fear leaking off the walls?
Or is it something far more sinister,
A never ending night,
With nothing to cast the shadows away?
Oblivion.
It is a powerful word,
Ringing with fear,
Dripping with hopelessness.
Oblivion.
Is it relief?
Does it ease our sorrows to a grave,
Silencing our demons?
Oblivion.
Is it peaceful?
Wrought with fear?
Or simply nothing?
Oblivion.
Do we see it?
Or does it hide,
Dancing away into dreams?
Oblivion.
Do we crave it?
As our lives end, with no time for choice,
Do we need it,
To finally rest forever?

I think it is. Sounds like you are questioning yourself. Something we all do and are scared to admit out loud. Opening up to others is a brave and scary thing especially when you are asking for opinions. Keep writing, it is good for you. :-)
