This is my Mistake,
 
Its all my Fault,
 
But I didn't Know what to Do.
 
I needed the Help, but I Couldn't get it.
 
I Was Lost.
 
Lost in a World I didn't Understand. 
 
I was Lost for a Long Time.
 
Before He came to Help me.
 
And that's When I Knew,
 
I would Never Lose myself Again.

my spelling is fine i just make alot of mistakes when typing on my touch screen. and just so you know i have A+'s as in my ELA classes. and no where in my poem says "i couldn't help it"

Perhaps you've edited it or something went wrong. Anyway, that's fine.

yeah i did edited it, but it never said "I couldn't help it".

it says I couldn't get it. But good job nice poem. Like Amazing Grace.

Amazing Grace? Good job there.

I would suggest using the spellcheck YWS provides to double-check your spelling as there are a few mistakes ('falt' should be 'fault', and 'tuats' should be 'that's'), but overall the rhythm is fine, rather good in fact, except for the jump between '... I couldn't help it' and 'I was lost', which seemed a little quirky to me.

This reminds me of my lessons on the Salvation of Jesus.

In conclusion, do try to work on your spelling. Grammar and punctuation are not as important in poetry as they are in short stories, but I would also suggest not using capital letters for almost every word.

it was meant t be that way. thats how i write my poems. i capitalize the important words in my poems.

Ah. Now I understand. Seems a little odd, but it's your style anyway.

What does Amazing Grace have to do with my poem. You confuse me by a lot.

The title is similar to one of the song's lyrics.
