criticism given
but never taken
heartfelt words
but a selfish meaning
wanting to hurt
but not knowing why
always telling lies
but not comprehending

wanting to stop
but not knowing how

i dont think i like this...ne ideas to make it better?

U in the dark u in the pain u on the run
Living a hell living ur ghost living ur hell

Hmm... I don't know exactly what to do with the poem to improve it.
I would have to recommend maybe taking each thought and expanding a bit on it?  
Like instead of "criticism given" say something a bit longer?  Maybe span two lines?
Just an idea...

I actually love the idea behind this poem

"""
Criticism given
But never taken
"""

An Idea or action
But (ha) contrary

Some clever ideas in this poem.  The way it is now leaves alot up to the reader to analyze.  Which can be good, but I think the poem loses  some power in this case because it is so general.  I think Allan had the right Idea.  Maybe if you took the ideas you had for this poem and made them a bit more specific you may end up with something great

Again I enjoyed this one
Jason

Oh and a title that sums up your thoughts here would have helped me delve into your mind on this one.  But I only critique because you asked, I actually think this poem is great.

maybe it's the setting of when you wrote this
where you tired, did you force it?
things like that matter i guess
just let it flow when it's willing to come out
anyways, that was an interesting read
thanks for sharing

I enjoyed some of the ideas within the poem that Jason pointed out.
I also feel that sometimes you try to force a poem about. Like when you are in writer's block you write a poem about writer's block...and i mean that's great but i've seen about more than 5 poems about writer's block from you. I feel that sometimes you just write a poem to post it up in passions and that's it. Like not for the sake of fully expressing yourself, but for the sake of just posting up a poem and getting replies.
Believe me tiff......I LOVE your poetry....you have written some deep stuff. Stuff in which I admire and adore....but then sometimes I see poems which don't have much feelings or compare not to those amazing poems I see and it really makes me think how you can write AMAZING poetry...and then poetry about writer's block more than 5 times......
I hope yer not taking this the wrong way. I'm your friend, and I'm just a friend expressing myself....and being honest like you want in the critique sign  
Hope to see more tiff!

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
