He's just as lost as you are,
Trapped in the world, an endless maze.
Everything around is like a blurry haze,
People without faces, people without change.
They all try to bring you down,
With their words stabbing into my left,
and their glares piercing into my right.
In their world, there is no light, because
He's just as lost as you are.
Yet, one and one is better than one and none.
Your lost in it together, the world of hate.
Ill give my eye to protect yours,
For they'll see even clearer.
Together we are alone, standing as one,
Lost without hope, lost without cause,
But together, we stand.

I like the general theme of the poem, and it was well written and understandable up until the line "Ill [which I assume is 'I'll'?] give my eye to protect yours," from that line out, though it all makes sense, it just doesn't sound good and is kind of repeating its self.
I think this would sound better as "Yes, one and one is better than none"I think the poem would show improvement, and sound better if you put it into rhythm.
I made some changed above, so all the lines are eight syllables, and it has a rhythm. So that's an example of how to do it.
Also, some places where you use commas look like odd places for them, even though grammatically, it makes sense.
Over all, it's a good poem, I think it just needs a little rewriting, and fixing up here and there to make it even better. Perhaps instead of repeating what they are standing up against, talk about the feelings they have about what they are doing at the end.
Hope I helped! If you have any questions about rhythm, and how to change it to work, or anything else I mentioned, feel free to PM me and I'll work you through everything
