why am i here

Who am I
Am I the quiet shy kid in the corner?
Am I the kid that’s up in your face?
What am I here for?
Am I here to save the world?
Am I here to help someone?
What do I need to do?
To be able to feel like I’m loved
To feel like I have worth
That I have friends
Are you my friend?
Are you the one I can save?
Are you the one I can talk to?
Thank you for being there.
Thank you for being a friend.
You may be my only friend
But one friend is all I need.
To keep me alive,
To keep me sane.

When you ask all these questions, it makes you sound confused and not much else. They aren't thought provoking for the reader, and they aren't even that relevant to your poem. Right now, you've glanced over all the real reasons that you need a friend, especially when you leave the poem with strong phrasing that makes the reader wonder, for a very brief moment, why you need a friend to stay alive or sane, why you don't have any others, why this person is friends with you, why you're friends with them--- more shallow questions, but you ignore just about everything relevant to the actual topic and kind of bumble around in the beginning and then sweep into that.

There is little, if any, emotion in this piece altogether, which is what really bites at me more than anything else. You're obviously handling something close to you, it's obvious enough that you're not entirely sure about what's going on in this situation or in your life in general, and the aimlessness with which you drive at it is actually still... quite apathetic.

When people develop poems on questions, it makes the material entirely unsure about itself, and becomes super repetitive; I'd watch out for it in the future, especially if they are rhetorical as these are. Unless you're trying to ask the reader something directly or make a point, avoid them altogether. They become monotonous quite quickly, and don't add much altogether.

I'm going to leave it at that; if you have any questions or anything, please don't hesitate to ask.

Actually I 100% agree with the previous reviewer. It doesn't really sound like a poem. It sounds more like your chaotic thoughts that exist in your head because you're confused. Confusion can be illustrated in poems, yes. But make it... more dramatic, create logical connections between questions.

Even if you prefer white verse, the sounds and words must still correspond with each other. Neither of your lines resonates with the previous one.

Personally to me, it sounds like you're not emotionally involved with the poem. You just seek answers to your questions.

My main point is, your lines, questions don't look whole when put together. You might see the logic, but for those who don't know what's going on in your head, you need to leave clues.

Personally, I'd redo the whole poem, but it's up to you.

Hello. I'm finally here to review.

So I think I disagree with the other two reviews. This does sound like a poem but I think you need to make it flow a bit more. I've seen what you can do, so I know it's possible:)

I was really happy when I saw you didn't have an grammar errors. It's only your second poem and you're already improving:)

Here's a suggestion on how to devide your stanzas:

Who am I
Am I the quiet shy kid in the corner?
Am I the kid that’s up in your face?
What am I here for?
Am I here to save the world?
Am I here to help someone?

What do I need to do?
To be able to feel like I’m loved
To feel like I have worth
That I have friends

Are you my friend?
Are you the one I can save?
Are you the one I can talk to?

Thank you for being there.
Thank you for being a friend.
You may be my only friend
But one friend is all I need.
To keep me alive,
To keep me sane.

I also noticed you weren't using any periods before and then you suddenly started to use them at the end. Poetry is a form of art so good punuation isn't always mandatory but when you switch like that it's kind of weird. So either add periods to the beginning or take out all the periods together. But keep the question marks.

It's a good poem and I think there was a lot of emotion put into it. Keep up the good work!

Oh and one more thing. Remember that if you want people to review your work you need to review other's work. I noticed you didn't have any reviews in your review column and I figured I should tell you to review. Even if you think you won't be good at it you could at least tell them they did a good job and like some stuff:)
