I’m trapped in this world     a life that can bind,
I can only be free      by losing my mind.
Swirling spiral     spinning me down,
Straight narrow roads     in a twisted town.
Dozens of faces     mangled     amused,
Eyes are so empty    lifeless      abused.
Stuck in a motion      gone round and round,
Acid rain      soaking the ground.
Pours down my cheek    drenching my clothes,
Turning my head        nobody knows.
Cancerous thing      gnawing at me,
Patiently       slowly     so none can see.

" How can i feel if i can't breathe...?"

I liked this alot, you put alot of emotion into it.  "Losing your mind" isn't such a fun experience, huh?

I like this poem, I think it's very well written, and you expressed yourself well.  However, I think that instead of spaces in the lines, you should make whole new lines.  The short lines will be an added effect for the poem.
JMHO..

Nicely done!  I enjoyed the emotion and power.  I hope to see more soon.

Thanx for all the comments, it's a good feeling to know ppl like my work.  As for the space in the lines... i tried it as short lines and didn't like the effect it got, i leave the spaces to represent pauses, length of the pause based on on much space.  I thought using the spaces gave a lot more flexibility in the lines so that's what i went with...again, thanx for all the comments and help, it means alot to me.
