I think that "think" is spelt with an "i"

Why am I so stupid,
not to even believe?
That all the world around me,
has nothing to concieve.
They don't know who I am,
but can read me like a book.
they don't even bother,
to give me a second look.
That's the problem with our world,
we don't look deep inside.
Maybe that's the reason why,
to no one we can confide.

Echo to Suzanne on everything she said - talk normally, and read more poetry. (And I think its 'Amelia' not 'Amilia' but I don't know.)
Anyways. This is lacking in many things. There is emotion, but it is rather navel-gazing; you focus only on yourself and neglect what the reader is supposed to be feeling. Should I pity you? Cry for you? I don't know. Describe your lover's smile, something about him that you like, something you despise. Hopefully it will start to evoke more response from the reader.
This also lacks imagery. I suppose you know what that is - PM me if you don't - but it will help for you to gain a deeper understanding if you read professional and YWS poetry, okay? So go over to your nearest library, curl up in a chair, and read. It really helps - I know from personal experience, though I'm still an amateur poet.
I hope this helped you somewhat, and PM me if you post a revision!

This is a writing site, please use real English. I also suggest you crack a collection of poems and read them. Keep in mind that poetry is for the reader, a lot more than the writer.... What do you want your read to feel/think/believe/do when they read this? Try to use metaphors and imagery to paint a picture.
More than anything, read poetry. Some good poets on here are Via, Amilia, Cade, Incandescence, Caligulas_Launderette and Whence.
