i was bored, and when that happense sometimes i get all emo. the result today was my first attempt at a freeform poem ^.^
I am forever watching.
Time and experiance have created an impenetrable shell.
I am forever watching.
From this internal perspective, the world passes by. I am unmoved by tradgedy.
I am forever watching.
This shell has only been broken by myself. From within I attempt to reach out.
I am forever alone.
When this happens, it is not according to established standards.
I am forever alone.
I withdraw again, rebuilding the shell about my being, using stronger material.
I am forever alone.
I cling to the hope that someday the shell will break, but hope fades with time.
I am forever watching.
Opportunities pass, protected within this shell, there is no need to come out.
I am forever watching.
I long to experiance the things I read about, see, and hear. But my addiction
to the shell consumes my very soul.
I am forever watching.
Time never stops, and ignorance is forgotten. I learn that information (matter and energy) in the universe is never destroyed, only reconstituted.
I am forever alone.
Hope begins anew at this revelation. I continue to watch the world pass by.
If information cannot be destroyed, I will wait for the afterlife.

My recommendation would be to drop out some unnecessary things and using a wider variation in terms. Try using shorter or split-up terms with a more verbose feel, avoid being technical. (Example- "From this internal perspective" feels quite blocky... I would recommend "From this view, from within" or something similar instead.)
A nice first try, but still rather clunky, mostly from over-use of technical terms. In such a spiritual poem, this causes a rather bad clash, and makes it seem unemotional, unfeeling. I can see how technicality works in, with the 'information', but if you insist to keep the technical feeling, I would suggest using it as punctuation, that is, using the flowing poetry, then ending each line with the technical terms. Such as "Unaffected by tragedy and despair, I witness the world move on, from this internal perspective."
You don't have to listen, but I do hope you find my advice useful.

im all ears. ive never written a poem before, and i wanted to get that ff of my chest without having to write a full blown story... my stories always end up unfinished, except for the few i have posted here. i seriously appreciate this feedback. the fact that you took the time to look through my gallery speaks volumes about your character. *hugs*
