You make me wonder, how does your mind work?
Mine works fine yet you make me go berserk.
Your words, they crush every bone in my body
Always making me feel like I am a nobody.
I can hear every little whisper that you sneer
Losing everyone I love just by being here
Why must you make me hate you?
Because you're doing a good job, it's true!
I want you to fall down as I'm bashing your head
But I am smashing the dry wall at home instead.
So, before you go on making people feel like mud,
Just remember me with my fist wrapped in blood.

Okay, these two lines ae good. I like this beginning, starting out with a raw burst of emotion and insight as to what you are trying to get across to your reader.
Your words crush every bone in my body
And making me feeling like a nobody.
I just don't like these two lines. I really don't. It may just be the second really. It just seems like you could've re-worded that a little bit better. Maybe try taking off the "ing"s after those two words. As far as what you're trying to get across, I get it, and I like the imagery used.
I can hear every little whisper that you snicker,
Making everyone's mind set on not being her.
I think this one could be better. It jsut seems a little jumbled up and such, like when someone throws a wet spaghetti noodle at a wall. I'm not saying it's bad, but it could stand some rewriting. It jsut seems confusing and awkward to read, at least to me anyways.

These lines are better. The rhythm is good in a kind of off key way. It kind of gives a little personality and view into what you're thinking as you end this.
I want you to fall down with a bashed in head
But I am smashing the dry wall instead.
Again, a little confusing. Are yo saying that "you", as in the narrator, want to bash his head in, but you're too busy busting walls? Or are you saying that you're mad and want him to get hurt? It's good, but I'm sure if reworded a little or maybe evenhave this part extended some, it would be great.
So, before you go on making people feel like mud,
Just remember me; with my fist wrapped in blood.
The ending is good, and I see no real reason to change it any really, though I don't like that semi-colon there. It could stand to be removed. Still, good ending in my opinion.


Final Analysis: A good poem that has potential, if reviewed a few more times and maybe a few phrases are re-worded or lengthened or elaborated. I felt that in reading this I could sense the true raw emotion in it, yet as far as understanding it, I sometimes was lost. Emotion, even truelly raw and uncontrolable emotion, has a structure, kind of. It's the job of the writer, poet, or song writer to feel that emotion, every ounce of it, and then project it, whether as smack poetry or a story about two people fighting or a song about loving too hard. Once you get the idea of creating structure in emotion, there's nothing you can't write.

Never stop writing or feeling, because every great poet and writer shares at least one thing in common: they never stop feeling or being.
