(This one is new but I don't really like it, I'll leave it to you to decide if it is good or not?)

The rain pours down on this house,
the hell I call home
Nothing joyful lies inside
Just an empty tomb
A tomb of hate
A tomb of fate
It shapes my every wake
In this cold place
Where life lies unchased
I rest my face


The rain pours down on this house
and this house alone
It makes me who I am
The bitterness, the envy
Burning inside
Came from this place
I want to leave
To run from it all
But this place holds me to its gate


In the house the rain pours down on
The screams can be heard
The sceams of hate
The screams of sorrow
and the screams of despair


And in this house
I lie to sleep
I dream of death
it holds the key
And like the rain falling down on this house
I'm always crying

What is it about your poem you don't like? Whatever it is, I would think that's the place to start to make any revisions.

Quite often I'll have an idea in my head that I like, but not the right words at the time to express it the way I want.  I write it anyway, put it aside for a few weeks, and then come back and rework it.  Sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn't.

I often don't like the things I write either, sometimes it's because what I have written is far too personal even for myself to want to face and accept.  When we write, the things we truly feel seep out and onto paper (or computer screen, depending where you write).  There's nothing wrong with this poem at all, it's beautiful and sad.  Sometimes what makes a poem is not how it was written, but what you put into it while you wrote it and this seemed like you put alot into it, bravo.

i thought your poem very deep and it connected well. there's been many times in my life already where i feel the way you feel. the home you live in is all you have take it for what it's worth. things will get better, try and be more positive, look at what is good not what is bad.
