Question:Pain

It takes over unitil theres nothing left

it leaves you with only one option (death).

Sometimes i cry in a blink of an eye.

When the tears flow i want to goe.

far away i cannot say.

The reason's why will make you sigh

it will have you wondering why

How can apain ever exist.

This Pain is one of a kind

It sends pain up your spine.

So now i say goodbye. Goodbye to what i know and love

this pain has taken over me so much til' i cannot see

I'm blinded by pain i'm blinded by fear.

One day i won't wake up and i won't be here.

Honestly, I don't really think so... it reads less like a poem and more like a cheesy, generic Backstreet Boys song. Try incorporating some visual or audio imagery so that it appeals more to the reader's imagination and senses. You might want to add some symbols. Also, try some different, less predictable and more balanced variations in your meter. This leaves very little for the reader to interpret. I bet you're probably like 14 or something, aren't you?
But keep at it. Poetry shouldn't be predictable - it should leave something to the imagination so that the reader can place their self into the poem. You do that through imagery, symbolism, metaphors, and a more diverse vocabulary and more poignant words that are likely to have stronger connotations.

It's a very nice poem, but try choosing some more word choice instead of those small words.

i liked it it had a good meaning.... i think the disease was cancer?

It has a good point, and overall, it's not so bad. But I'd work on rhythm, and maybe a deeper undertone of sorts. But don't be discouraged! It's good, and you should keep writing.
