*Broken*
         
We are broken, into a thousand pieces,
we took for granted the
life we had.
             
    We are broken, we can no      
longer use our wisdom, and how can we say, we have our
freedom?
We are broken,  and unforgiving,    
we always needed someone to     blame.
   
We are broken, and unforgiven,          
all of our souls will lie in
               shame.
We are broken, we sacrificed,      
all we had,
got all of our hopes up,                     and got nothing back.            
We are broken,        
and we all lied, to the ones                  
who loved us, to the ones                
who tried to restore our pride.
We are broken,             and unreliable,   could we ever
                        come through for
           anyone                  
                  but
ourselves.
We are broken,               and relying, on
someone to do                                       the
things we          couldn't get            
              done ourselves.
We are broken, we just         f
                                   
                e
                                                                                  
                                                l                                            
 
                           
l                                                     
            apart,         and nobodies here to put
us back together.            
We are broken, we lost  
              something,         that we can
                       
                      never          
get back again,     and that is why we stay,...forever       b
                                                       
                                   
                            r
                                                                                            
                        o              
                                   
      k
                                                                                                
                    e              
                                   
          n...

ok, not good at critiuqes, but to me the format of this poem is really distracting, breaking up a word into letters to me does not give it more impact, the impact should come from the arranging of the lines, and the other thing I think is missing is a reason, I mean you are the author and you don't have to put the reason for being broken, but it would pull the reader in if we could feel along with you....

I like the use of repitition but I agree with llovit the breaking up of sentances and words is very distracting and takes the impact of the poem away from rather than lending it too the poem.
