sorry bout spelling, i suck

finding everything i want
i throw it all away
i turn my back in it
i destroy it
everything i worked for
deatroyed
then i get depressed
i wine about it for a while
i get sad
depressed
angry
i start thinking
i don't want to live
but things go on
and i start to rebuild
i make a new life
i find more people
find more and more
trying to make
my life hole agian
and i get it all
but then i get depressed
i wine for a while
then
i throw it all away

Matt-

You don't suck because you think you can't spell. ^^; You only suck if the rest of the world sucks with you, yes? Haha, that was bad...o_O; *ish a bad influensh* XD

However...(I hate lecturing people about this) spelling is crucial in a poem to communicate your message. As well, people will know you took the time to make sure everything was spelled correctly, because if you take the time to care about how you spell, they will also take the time to care about what they read. ^_^;
I hate being a pain, but:

"deatroyed"

Obviously, you know how to spell "destroy" because you spelled it correctly two lines before. I know it was a typo, but perhaps you could read it over before you post to make sure typos like that don't make it look like you were lazy. oO;

and:

"wine"

I think you meant "whine" ^^; If unsure about the spelling of a word, look it up in a dictionary, or choose another word from a thesaurus or a thesaurus-type thing. ^_^;

One more critique:
The repetitive use of some words, such as "depressed" make the poem sound...repetitive. oO; You want to keep the reader as interested as possible, so instead of using "depressed" all the time, try "dejected" or "downcast" or something along those lines (ok, those were really bad examples. Hopefully, you have access to a thesaurus to beat my pitiful examples to shame). o_O;

Besides all of that, you have potential as a writer, so keep at it! ^^

Matt, I'm going to be honest and say I didn't like this as much as your other work... it seems like you wrote this without having any kind of point or main subject to it.  The content is just a bunch of statements that leave the reader hanging, wondering where the poem is going... and then it's like you take it nowhere.

I think you could give this poem a lot more impact if you made it have some kind of point to it... some specific thing you want to express.

Just my opinion.
