Wow!! You are really a good poet!

Shallow breaths
linger on under my quiet eyes
breathe
castles in the sky
windows boarded and storms repent
my sins
Are a mile high
----
Live on through the day
my lightbulb turns on
though there is already sunlight
This is how morning starts
Temptations to resurrect those dreams
that i had abandoned
Half-emptied
Like cornfields forgotten
the pleasures rot
Beep beep
-----
Hearts held to my chest
beating and burning
fires long ago doused
but resparked
By the news
Trapped inside
thunking like metal limbs
dragging across the wood
robots engineered to fail
That is who we are
----
Expressions on an expressionless face
smile faded
lips bent in peculiar ways
venting my thoughts
silently
Like paper corners
flicked and screwed
Turning upwards
scratching the skin like feather and tin
Where has the softness gone, once embellished with frozen kisses
----
They say that humans are afraid of the unknown
yet I find myself concerned
over secure settlements and what I find
is scarier than what I have not
Suddenly the future seems more frightening
now that time has been mortalised
Through life
as we know
This is it
Hmm. I really love it there. Caught me off guard and I sure expected that from you. Like the others, I love the flow of the poem for myself and I sure bet it is really really amazing.
Again, I would compliment the layout on your literary appreciations and figure of speech used in the different lines above. There are a series of hidden phenomom in each line of your poem, and that is what really made it make some bit of sense.
Writing is a skill that I think everyone needs to work and develop on. Your poem's striking, but at the same time, not in line as to the way I expected. I don't know how you planned it or the messages you were trying to pass through, but as readers are, I know for sure that they would always want to see things on a different aspect or point of view.
I do not want to point out that most of the lines were actually contradictory or point blank, but like you said, I believe when it is originally published, the theme would be less contrasting and comprehensible because your language is high sounding and your diction lacks clarity.
Above all, its wonderful that you wrote well, and I seem to enjoy it.

Hey, great poem! You have a talent for writing - as we can see here.
The flow is amazing and the end line "This is it" sent chills down my spine! The whole poem had an eerie, almost spooky feel to it. Your stanzas have a huge effect on the entire poem too
Overall i very much enjoyed it ; no criticism here!
Love Rubes
Hey!
First of all lemme just say that I really enjoyed reading your poem.
There's a slightly eerie air in the poem, like it is forcing us to confront the harsh realities of existence. I really liked the flow, especially in the fourth stanza.
I'm not sure about this, but I think there should be a question mark at the end of this line:
Where has the softness gone, once embellished with frozen kisses
I really liked how you compare humans to robots engineered to fail...that's a beautiful comparison.
I don't really know why, but this line sounds amazing:
scratching the skin like feather and tin
There's something lyrical about it...I really loved that line.
On the whole, I loved the poem. Can't wait to read more of your work.
Keep writing.
