Shadow Boxer 

Shadow boxing gives me comfort 
I spar in secret throughout dark.
Stark is the contrast to light  
where there's reflection there is might.

My outlined silhouette better than I
manifesting sorcerer spells like a kite.
Reflecting fearlessness why care. - Not sure i understand this line (maybe its the wording or punctuation?)
Does a shadow share an imprisoned snare?

Shame in a psych ward psychiatrist
attempting to sterilize me.
"Judge, jury, executioner, family, (love this line and the next)
innocence is what I plead."

Shadow boxing publicized delusions
that take over me? Doctor realize
mistakes, fears framed in love unravelling,
I am man, hallucinating everything.

The hardest part, is destroying me
When I wake from dreams
inside hospital walls within blanket seams.
Shadow boxer fears realities ignorant fiends.

I like this poem a lot and I think you have a really great skill with words and metephors, but i'm not sure I'm catching what youre trying to throw. Sometimes I find poetry that is too vague a little hard to read, and not quite as enjoyable. I think maybe a clearer msg might help a little bit, and it might also help the overall flow. but that is just my preference of course.
