The use of rhyme does not benefit the short lines herein. The rhymes seem a bit abrupt and rather forced (e.g. must/just, do/due). Stanza 3 epitomizes how rhyme and cliche don't mix well. Maybe rewrite this with no rhyming first and then perhaps try slant rhymes, like skyline/why, to see if they add anything. Good luck with the revisions.
