Hi WiteOak!
You have the fundamentals to a very good poem.
I enjoyed most the concept, that everyone has heard of, but is never truly advocated for to the extent it should be!
A suggestion I have for you, would be dividing your poem into stanzas. Otherwise, it might be parallel to prose.
Another thingy (for lack of a better word) I enjoyed, was the coma you utilized after You. It really added brevity and depth to your poem. I also applaud your escalating diction, but if you increased your vocabulary even more, then maybe the capitalization would not be needed!
You have a few spelling/grammatical errors, but I'm sure you'll be able to find them. (Such as "too" instead of "to" conspicuously).
Ooh, one more thing before I leave. I like your repetition in the piece, but in these three lines:
"Unless you discover that
You,
You are stronger than that."
Do you see how you can see the word "that", twice? I think this was an accidental repetition and can add a sense of weakness to your poem. I would revise the way you word "Unless you discover that".
Overall, I enjoyed the concept you layed out, and believe that this can be a great poem (unless you decide to turn it into prose).
Keep Writing!
