Who can save me?
No one can,
All my friends,
Not a single one.
Who know me best?
None of them,
I’m tired of fighting,
Who is fighting me?
Finish me please,
I can’t go on,
My strength is depleting,
My soul is not strong,
I stop believing,
I’m all alone,
All my life,
Days and nights,
Hear me shout,
Let me out,
Let me go,
Of your control,
I’m so weak,
What do I seek?
I want to be free,
Of all my pains,
My sorrow,
Mostly,
All me misery,
Who are you?
Do you know me?
How can that be?
I don’t know me,
Am I dreaming?
Let me sleep,
I like to not feel anything,
I am suffering,
How about you?
I can’t cry,
What can I do?
Can you teach me?
I’m a fool,
What are you doing?
Why are you here?
Just stop caring,
Get out of here,
For I am alone,
And that is fine with me,
It has always been this way,
Since everyday,
Of my life,
Think about it,
I am right,
I can’t be save,
I see the light,
But it is blocked,
So I knocked,
But I can’t get in,
For I have sin,
And everything,
Will be lost,
And my soul,
Never more,
And you,
Forever more,
Will watch me,
Spend eternity,
In hell,
Oh well.

Yeah!  Very cool poem.  I liked the last two lines, they were spiffy!
As for critiques, I'd say the lines were a bit too short here.  Maybe give the poem a bit less verticality?  Just my opinion.

Not your best, but nonetheless a good read.

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

The last two lines were indeed very cool and this was a good read.  The use of shorter lines makes your poems flow very nicely, just don't get locked into the style permanently.  great job, keep posting.

Sometimes, the things that go unsaid are the only things worth hearing.

This is a nice poem.  The only suggestion I would make is one that has already been mentioned, I think that the lines here are too short.  Try combining them together..
Thanks for sharing, and nice job.
