Question:My mind is filled with jumbled thoughts,
Turning now to twisted words;
Love me,
Hate me,
Let me be!
The rhythm of life;
Day by day,
Night by night,
Just let it go.
Follow the trends,
Go with the flow,
Live without meaning.
But when it all turns to dust,
Don’t come crawling back to me.

i think it sounds a little generic, filled with cliches. too safe you know what i mean? like there is no real edge to it. i give it a 4. maybe i sound like a b*tch, and for my honesty i'm probably not gonna get the 10 points. but even if i don't i hope that i helped you with your poetry. make a statement. make it your own hun!

It could use some work.

from 1 to 10
6.5

No matter good or bad with the words at hand, a poem comes from the heart and this is why it is a poem.

The poem seems to state that a certain person can not live without the other unless they want a life without meaning. Someone has been hurt in the process of a break up or a refusal of a relationship all together.

i like it
i give it an eight

i think u need something in it to make it URS... maybe take out the "go with the flow" and the "night by night" and come up with ur own words that nobody has ever heard of before.
but i like the last two lines!! those are really good!!
overall 1-10 id give it about a 6.
