sometimes i

Sometimes I wish you could see trough my eyes
Watch my life flash like a busted light bulb
Sometimes I wish my dreams were your reality
So you know how it feels to be me

Sometimes I wish you were in my shoes
Walking the paths you laid for me
Sometimes I wish you listened to yourself speak
So you hear your own harsh words

Sometimes I wonder if all you see me as is a puppet
Am I the puppet you make live the life you didn't
Sometimes I wonder if you realize what you don't say hurts
Like falling on broken glass

Sometimes I wonder if when I cry you notice
My eyes stream but your shoulder isn't there to greet them
Sometimes I wonder if you love me
Like a mother should

It's a good start, but I think you should put some more work into this poem. A lot of the images you use are common, and you don't go into them enough to give your own twist to them.

Watch my life flash like a busted light bulb

I like this image, but perhaps 'flash' isn't the proper word: it implies, at least to me, something really bright, which I do not think is what you were going for here.

I'd also suggest looking over your tenses: they're kind of iffy in places.

Nice start, though. Just try to give it a bit more thought, and polish it more.

Like falling on broken glass This is one of the places that you use imagry, and I think you need more because it doesn't sound right alone.

Sometimes I wonder if when I cry you notice On the line after it just seems to break flow and it doesn't look right to me.

You lack major punctuation and it makes it look choppy. I think that more imagry and better flow would suit this poem better. It has major potential, I understood how you felt, but just becuase I feel the same way. Keep trying.
