Trying to get signed? (Free verse) by Damien

I do not understand this frame of mind I only feel the truth inside it I fly One day I am someone with the highest ambition The next I could be complete if I forget this competition Because if I choose to acknowledge this as a worth full fight I will do something new, as I know how to catch people’s sight I will think of the next big thing not what you bring You humans will be shocked at what evolution sings So I will write and contemplate whilst growing from within Be persistent with my dreams and "just go for it" All I need now is an honest opinion of this If I can write this simply do I have a gift? But stop if you are judging as you scum destroy Leave me be rip me up cant you see I will find joy Can’t you see you’re the key that can begin this process? My expressions will progress, as my mind is not hopeless

Don't assume. All those comments except the first have at least something to do with the poem, and most of them are helpful suggestions (i.e., the comment on Psydeways Tears's poems).

By contrast, the comments you've posted on OTHER PEOPLE'S POEMS BESIDES YOUR OWN are:

"Sorry I have never rated any of your poems I am just at work when I am on the net. Nice feel although not a dastic subject, plus how can I say anything bad to someone who has offered nothing but support. Keep up the good work and get in contact with me about publishing books as this is a dream of mine.
Love the style"

"Very nice mouthfull, love the style, great talent and wonderfullllll subject. "

"No real movement for me but it does represent what you can do with words."

And

"Feels like something I would of wrote. I trulty feel the meaning, if only these other "critiques" could see that."

Can you honestly say that any of these poems gives a useful suggestion or does anything else except

a) give vague fluffy praise,
b) trash the poem in a vague, rather fluffy way, or
c) trash "critiques"?
