In basic critique, apparent minor grammatical errors may be intentional for mood or other purpose, but will be pointed out anyway in case they really weren't intended.
Write something meaningful?
All words mean something, dont they? not to be pedantic, but "don't" wouldn't hurt.
Or are they simply plucked from our mind, implies a group mind; "minds" if each of us has one
A gibberish jumble of phrases fun use of "gibberish," effectively as an adjective rather than noun. nice.
Looking to be introduced
To the Oxford ideal.
If others perceive my words
To be riding on the back of a turtle perhaps "As" rather than "To be?"
Whilst the rain flows towards the Sun good place for a more striking phrase than "flows toward" here
And snow covers the ground,
Do I really care?
I like cheesy rhymes with no distinct voice,
That offer choice, a rhythmic election
As to which direction
The readers imagination chooses to take flight. the ambiguity of "readers" (between "reader's" and "readers'") is fun, but looks like an error
I like people not afraid to disagree,
Those that see that standing together, perhaps "who" for the first "that," just for variety
Forever following the roundabout of hate can you suggest being trapped in the roundabout with a more striking word than "following?"
Whilst their hearts continue to be broken. not to rewrite, but perhaps something like "With hearts breaking at each circuit"
Why must we all be that person modern colloquialism, well used ("Don't be that guy")
Who thinks, writes, believes in the obvious. is "in" necessary? Maybe it is.
Chocolate may mostly be sweet but
It can also be bitter. suggestion: "...may be mostly sweet/but also bitter"
We can all fly like pancakes
On our way to someones plate. delightful ending
Someone has probably already pointed out that beginning each line with capitalization is not the fashion on this site. I personally see little wrong with the practice.
This could be made to flow better with fewer words, but would then lose some of its charm. Hard to advise; seek alternatives to "the" - more descriptive, or poetically deleted for flow.
