Hehe, okay, this one was done kinda roughly, and thanks for the replies to my previous posts, you guys are the best!

What if I asked you
to leave me here,
in my own prison
of sad, angry fear.
What if I asked you
not to question why,
cause I can't explain it
and will probably lie.

What if I asked you
not to judge me for this,
for the life I don't have
is one I don't miss.
What if I asked you
not to help me please
cause I need to face
my own windy breeze.

What if I asked you all this,
what would you do?
What if you did all this,
would I stop asking you to?

Makes no sence..hehe...don't take it all too seriously  

Planning big can be a gamble...I have already rolled the dice!

Actually the ending makes perfect sense. I liked it a lot. If you keep on asking for, let's say, a kiss and he doesn't give it to you then you'll keep asking, but if he does give it to you all the time then there would be no reason to ask for it since you'd always be getting it. Maybe you'd even have to ask him NOT to give you a kiss...haha ok anyway....I enjoyed the poem.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Yup, listen to Dr Dopey up there.  

I like this one a lot more than the other one I read from you. It appeared to have more feeling and to speak of actions that are easy to connect with.

Thanks for the read.

Just because I hear voices doesn't mean I'm crazy...SHUT UP IN THERE!!!

the poem makes perfect sense, a lesson people can learn on judging.

Just like everyone said, makes perfect sense.  I really liked the way you asked the whole poem in questions.  Very creative, and powerful at the same time.
The meter throughout this poem is overall pretty good.  There are places here and there where you could maybe add or take away one word or syllable in a line, and the flow would turn out perfect.  But it's not too noticeable, therefore, not a big deal.
The two lines I liked the most here were: "for the life I don't have/is one I don't miss."  That line really stuck out for me... although I'm not quite sure why. Hehe  
I really enjoyed this poem.  It's very well written!  You're a talented poet, and I'm enjoying reading your work.  I hope to see more soon.
Well done.

If you asked me these things, my dear I'd reply,
"That is all fine with me", and I wouldn't ask why,
For we all need our time alone,
And some of us are better off that way...

     I agree, it makes perfect sense.  I have too many friends who won't want help with anything.  Who would ask me not o try but would still care.  And whetehr you want help or not, you can draw from the fact that some people will still offer help.  Because no matter what the hells going on, someone cares.  Basic nature.
