I'm an amatuer emo poet, I tend to write depressing ones lol whats your honest opinion? "Internal Agony"..
Nice slant rhyme (check out Emily enson), the images are appropriate for the subject, however . . . that amount of angst seems a bit over-done. While the poem holds together in structure and content, you should consider a problem every poet has to face: what poems are fit for the general public and which are personal or limited group efforts. Something in you needs to express these feelings, and by all means continue as you have something here. Just remember that poetry is about evoking shared experiences, and few people want to wallow in misery to such a degree. For me personally though, your images work, and your phrasing is very nice. perhaps work on subtlty, slip the knife in and twist as opposed to bashing brains out, right? Good luck, and keep writing!
