Psyve,
I think this was originally in "mild" which is not where one would place song lyrics for evaluation (and you do not have the right to post in mild yet, although you probably will have the next time you log in). It has now been placed in "Miscellaneous" which is the correct forum for song lyrics. However, it should be noted the requirements for poetry and those for lyrics are fairly divergent from each other. For instance repetition is generally so unworkable in poetry today, it is generally dismissed out of hand, whereas in music lyrics, a tag or a hook is nearly always a repetition. So lyrics being evaluated by the criteria of poetry will generally not fare well. So posting in the correct forum and describing the type of feedback you wish to receive (as lyrics not poetry) will cause you to more likely receive what you are looking for. Just remember this is first and foremost a poetry workshop and not geared toward lyrics.

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
