Description
I will give up everything to find youYou’ve taken all of me
Can I shed my old self?
Hide the scars
And discard the callousness
To grow new skin
And open my eyes to the world
I’m living a lie…
I’ve grown so accustomed
To this hate…this death
Can you hear me out there?
Screaming from within
Trying to get out
But I am locked within myself
The walls I put up for protection
Are only keeping me prisoner
Please don’t turn away
Wallowing in my pain and filth
I know it’s not appealing
But don’t close your eyes
This is all of me…
The good and the bad
You seem to see right thru me
You see the real me
The one cowering inside
With you, I have no shame
I am overcome by one glance of your eyes…
I don’t want to rely on you
Thru my life’s struggles
I want to stand alone
On my own two legs
And yet I crumble and fall
Please forgive me…
I am incomplete without
You at my side
You are so beautiful…so perfect in every part
I can’t stand alone
But together…
We can be stronger
Than either of us alone
Love is like a small bird
Attempting to capture it…
You can neither grasp
Too softly that the bird escapes…
Nor too hard that it is crushed

This poem doesnt flow at all well.
Which is good
the thoughts and emotions you are expressing stutter their way out of us, the mix of pain, hope and fear expressed dont flow fluidly, and we are left not sure how we feel.
In short I like it

First I want to say: I liked the poem! But I think you have to work a bit on your grammar. The way you write an this poem reminds me a lot of Evanescene... Do you listen their music?
All in alle I think it's a very good poem, so keep going in that direction and you will do just fine
