Loneliness is a loyal friend.
The jewel don’t have shape, his sparkles goes everywhere. He can’t be set and shine with a sick glow.

Why are we trying to be special? why not trying to don’t be special.
If a thing is lacking of sense you can try to explain it, but it is not the truth anymore.
(excuse me for my english again)
some of the lines could be moved down a line as in;
If everything is lacking of sense,
you have to do stupid things to give your life a sense.
What can you do if everyone prefers a artificial joy
to a true sadness? A false smile is sadder than real tears.
by breaking the sentence down at a relevant point (this is a poetic device called enjambment) you add another aspect of poetry to the piece.
we can presume english isn't your first language, that being the case, i think the poem is well constructed. apart from grammar, cliché (old phrases or saying) will be one of the things to look out for.
some of the imagery is good, i like the insight that a jewel doesn't have shape. i also like some of the truisms you show us.
thanks for the read.
