    A very good poem... It kind of creeps me out...
    You have a very powerful write... You seem to draw a climax out of the repetition... You also have a great wording...

    "Shattered up
    Crystal clear"

    *Absolutely breathtaking...

    I would also say this might have a hidden message... A quite deep hidden message...

    :)

    *keep on*

    I can feel it coming around again
    I can feel it shutting me off again
    I can feel it pushing me to my knees
    I can feel it coming around again

    Can't you feel, can't you know, what it is like
    To be here?

    These sticks and stones
    They break my bones
    They break my world
    These sticks and stones
    Shatter and drown
    Shatter the world

    I can feel it this time before it comes
    I can feel it cutting me from my lungs
    ^I think you might want to add "up" in between "me" and "from". I think it makes a rather significant difference.
    I can stop it before it takes the plunge
    I can feel it this time before it comes

    You can't stop me this time you know you're wrong
    I can stop faking that you are strong
    Since I've started now it just won't be long
    You can't stop me this time you know you're wrong

    I can feel it coming around again
    This time it is ripping me from my friends
    If it doesn't stop there will be bloodshed
    Cause I will stop it coming around again

    Can't you stop, can't let go, what it's like
    To be here

    These sticks and stones
    They break my bones
    They break my world
    These sticks and stones
    Shatter and drown
    Shatter the world

    Shatter it
    Shatter you
    Sweep you up
    Clean the room
    Nondescript
    Has lead you here
    Shattered up
    Crystal clear

    These sticks and stones
    They break my bones
    They break my world
    These sticks and stones
    Shatter and drown
    Shatter the world
    Shatter it, you shattered it
    Shatter it, you shattered it

    Your chorus' seem to get more and more amazing as I go down the list. The grace and elegance you write through these is beautiful, and the way you write is just amazing. You have talent. :] I can't wait to read more, and the funny thing is, I'm not normally interested in Lyrics at all if there's no music to go along. But yours are definitely the exception.

    I'm sorry I lied
    You're not a poet

    You are a song writter. The lyrics before me are some of the best work that I have seen on this site. The raw pain displayed before me as I read your "poem" was pulsing off of my screen.

    Clearly your song "Sticks and Stones" kills my pome that just happens to have the same title. I give you props for your originality in these lyrics of yours.

    Awesome. This would make for a great song. Love the whole idea of this piece. Strong chorus, and truly meaningful words. Normally, I might try to critique each stanza but I don't feel that you need to change anything. Keep it up, 5/5.
