Write - write your heart out.
oh jesus.
IMHO, the 4th paragraph needs just a little work, spelling on accompanied? "proclaimed a good" also confuses me just a little.
Friendly advice to a lot of lonely fifteen-year-olds.
Run a mile.
Fly a kite.
Swim to Catalina Island.
But - Don't write poetry.
You have a good theme here, just cloak it a little more and it becomes interesting.
Kill him, then yourself.
It kept me reading though I was thinking "too much, too many words" -
This theme of unrequited love/breakups is soooo done - BUT - you put a nice slant into it with some fresh ideas:
"You kissed me in public. You didn't care"
the "wife" angle.
The trick will be to pare it down a bit without losing the sense of realism or honesty - to not make it a cathartic fabrication/built-thing.
And this time, the question in the ending works pretty well. Would have more punch if there was some reference to it earlier on (but not the word music).
I want to give it a nine, but I'm held back by the theme - you could very likely tweak this up to good effect.
I will say though, the title rocked, and the first stanza started out pretty well.
Too simplistic; I don't buy it.
The 1/begun rhyme did it in.
"And present a number of social agenda"
despite the possibility that it could be grammatically correct - this should be remade in such a way so that it doesn't raise the question.
Laced with interesting political language but I can't get past that it says, overal, "despite our potential, we suck" - that's what I get out of it anyway.
Maybe this would appeal to a campus audience more (I did like it better than the last one, though).
Not feeling this one - leaves me with half my face scrunched up.
Sure.
But now that I[ve] opened them
I dunno mig - its true that the rhymes are typically simple for a popoular song, but I feel like some of these exist just for the sake of rhyme.
What's this one about?

No, I like hearing Christians talk about porn addiction. The poem is cute, delicate, the ending is actually rather nice. But I'd never recommend using ellipses in a poem. I'd do it with line breaks and dashes if it was me.
