The dream that is feared
The hope that is put
In somebody that regrets
Regrets the papers that he teared
Regrets the truth that he denied

The path that led him wrong
The thoughts that didn't make him strong
The threats that he gained
The unfortune that he've seen
Makes everyone do like him

I think your poems a little short. I have a number of suggestions for you.
First...
The hope that is put
In somebody that regrets
I think this should be The hope that is put into someone that regrets,
Secondly ...
The unfortune that he've seen
Makes everyone do like him

These lines are in urgent need of fixing.Here are my revisions..The fortune that he would have seen, would have made everyone admire him.

I hope that helps

Hi! I liek your poem but I think it's a little vague. And it's good to leave your poem open to interpretation so that the reader can assume whatever they like from it and relate it to themselves, but I don't think there is quite enough here for the reader, or me, at least, to really get something from the poem. I think you need maybe some more description, just something to make it a bit more specific - what regrets, what did the person do, etc. Also, I don't know what you mean by "he've". :P So a good start, I just think it needs to be more detailed. :)
Matt.

Hey there!

As much as I liked some of these lines I feel that you need to scrub up a bit in terms of your portrayal, perhaps spice up the vocab or describe a little more, so there's probably room for elaboration. Another improvement I can suggest is that you install some kind of simple punctuation scheme, such as sticking commas at the end or places where you think I should take a breather when I'm reading. If you do this the fluency and pace becomes a lot more admirable and not only is it easier to read, it also packs a bigger affect, so perhaps a good revision of this.

Keep it up!
