Me
poem
a poem i wrote

Darkness
I look in you eyes
And darkness I see
It looks like you want…
To kill me
Maybe you do
Or don’t
I’ll never know

Your personality goes from
Happiness to
Darkness
We all love you but
Darkness has taken over your body
We’re scared of
Darkness

We betray you
The darkness is mad
Run
Run
As fast as you can
Hide
Hide
As best as you can
Guess who it is
Darkness

o... Just no.... It's not bad, but it's not good either. This, to me, is your shrivel of hope. You can do better, overlooking this one.
"Darkness"
'I look in you eyes
And darkness I see
It looks like you want…
To kill me
Maybe you do
Or don’t
I’ll never know'

It's not the person who wants to kill you, it's the "Darkness". And with your style of writing, it is a VERY BAD NO-NO to rhyme. Don't use punctuation like that. It's nearly impossible to add a sense of suspense to poetry. Try this...
"Darkness"
'I look into your eyes
Darkness floods them.
It gives me a sense of
A dying wish to threaten
My life.
Maybe it's in my
Mind
Or perhaps it's true.
But who am I to know?'

It's not great, but it's better than the boring words you inserted. Poetry is about creativity, it's not JUST expressing yourself, though that does play a huge role.
And please, my criticism is not a form of me throwing you down, this is how you learn.
