Psh, Tiff, way to spring a poem on me that doesn't deserve criticsm. But, anywhoo, I'll have a stab and see what I can do.
I like the message that this poem sets forth. It's delicate, and I will not touch that, but as far as delivering goes, I would like to see prettier language. By that, I don't mean make it all flowery and stuff, but someone used to tell me that "if you take all of the line breaks and it reads like a story paragraph, you have more work to do."
By this, I mean that a poetic voice is truly an important thing to rely on in poetry writing. Never mind if yours is basic or something, just 'poeticize' your words, use words in new contexts and such forth so that it rings poetically in our minds.
Aaand, I have nothing more to say, other than keep up the great work, and I'd love to see more.
Best of luck!
