we were all new to poetry at one time.
for an early poem it's pretty good. it read like the person in the poem is deciding whether to keep the child of abort. (it's what i get form it)
have a look in the poetry practice section on the site and elsewhere in general.
at first read the poem fel bland but after a couple more it seems to need to be that way, it's indecisiveness shows more by the blandness i fist disliked. it's actually a much better read than i first thought. that said, i would have liked it to be a little more defined and a few more poetic devices such as assonance, consonance and or alliteration, also try and ask the questions in an original way if possible.

could i?
do i want to? maybe just use the last question mark [i see the first two lines ending with a comma]
what if i mess up?
poor examples
all around me no need for me as all the I's make this a given really
yet the pressure lives
i love
my life
as it is now
is there enough time?
logic tells me
money money
world will turn around
yet i
wonder
what end would be
why must i decide?
i see the joy
the selfless love
guiding little E
at times
witness
is all i need
will i have regrets?
people telling
all of the time
this is the right path
listen
smile, nod
no advice helps me
how do some just know?
should i?
could i?
do I want to? same again with the question marks
can i really choose?
Thanks so much for your feedback! I'm 100% new to writing poetry but have been feeling compelled to write lately
