If the line not to cross is already behind me,
Then which way shall I turn my back?
“Continue and do not look back”
I shall cliché till the end of my days
If that will pardon my ways.
"Merit the triumphs,
Those of which you are proud,
Never be afraid to stand out from the crowd."
But that has already been said,
Can I believe what is not from your head?
If I were to read you all the books had been read
And until forever were to sit by your bed,
You would not be a person.
You could not be real.
You would not feel
The pain
From yesterday’s rain
Nor the gain from tomorrow’s sun.
What’s done is done
And that has certainly been said.

Hello there.
Firstly, rhythm! Where is it? Your line lengths go 13, 7, 7, 10, 7, 5, 6, 11, etc. sybllables long. Problem is, that just isn't conducive to poetry that flows - try reading some professional poetry, note a lot of the common rhythms - all 10 syllables, pentameter; eight syllables followed by six, the "ballad meter", think of Amazing Grace. Basically put, you need your lines to be more regular if it's to flow nicely off the tongue.
Then there's the rhyme. Contrary to popular opinion, rhyme does not automatically make a poem better - the fact is, it's one of the most difficult aspects of poetry to utilise effectively, and so it often ends up making poetry worse: that's what has happened here.
The problem is that all of your rhymes are in the same pattern, and all of them are very basic. For example:
Here you have the lines one after the other, and it's an absolute rhyme.--------- proud
--------- crowd
Once again, the same pattern, with an absolute rhyme. Very basic, like children's poetry.--------- said
--------- head
