Fix Me [REDRAFT]

See these tears,
See this face.
See the hatred
Sink without trace.

Hold my hand,
Hold me tight
Keep on trying,
Help me see light

Pick up the pieces,
All the broken glass
That shattered from inside me
Cracking strong and fast

Don’t give up
Mop up fallen tears
Mend me back together
Trample all my fears

Cover up my ugliness
Cover up my hate
Get rid off all my flaws
Try and change my fate

Cease this burning hatred
That blazes from inside
Tell me that I’m beautiful
Even though its all lies

Hold my hand,
Hold me tight
Keep on trying,
Help me see light

Fix me back together,
Sew my burst seams
Banish all my nightmares
Pick up broken dreams
Fix me.

A good poem but it needs a little tightening in some places and the timing and tempo runs into a little trouble at the end of verses.

Just cut a few words to keep the last line of verse a little shorter and still in tempo with the rest ie drop the 'A' from the last line of the first verse and possibly revise the last line of the second verse because it's a little long winded in comparison with the rest of the verse.

These are all things that were said to me about poems i've written so trust me i understand trying to do your best and i only hope you'll take a few poinst of my advice and matched with the brilliance of your poem otherwise, grow better. =D
