    Im going to be saying this poem infront of many people in a months time, how can i improve it, this is based on true events of my life, please dont judge.

    Also when you read it, what impression does it give you of me? :(

    ---------------------------------------

    Im walking down the road
    And you stop with your car
    Im just visiting your country
    Ill be gone in a month

    You make me laugh so much
    With every word you say
    Your English is so terrible
    But you makeup with your ways

    You keep your life a secret
    While I tell you all of mine
    I saw the picture in your wallet
    Your children and your wife

    I gave you time to tell me
    Acting stupid as we went on
    But you never mentioned them
    1-2 weeks 3 go on

    Were sitting by the lake now
    My head is on your chest
    I wish you told the truth
    To make me understand

    I want you more each day
    And today I want you all
    Morals and ethics out the window
    I dont care anymore

    I lay my body on yours
    Waiting to get pushed away
    Instead you push me closer
    Your driving me insane

    God, he is amazing
    I dont want to give him up
    Why cant he tell me his secret?
    Am I just not enough?

    Im going to have you now
    Regardless of what I know
    This is your secret, not mine
    Your fault.

    Right or wrong doesnt matter to me
    As long as it feels right
    And loving him felt incredible
    I loved him every night

    Ill be back in my own country
    And there you will be at yours
    we Swapped our information
    Me still knowing you are hers

    Why do you still contact me?
    Im only half your age
    You know I want you darling
    So this is your mistake

    Well i liked it. but i did think it was kinda weird to fall in love with somebody that is twice as old as you. but i like to live by the code "live and let live".

    but i really enjoyed reading it. the beginning was interesting and a bit funny with learning new languages and traveling and whatnot.

    also, i don't mean to degrade anyone but... most people are not professional poets or anything, so the standards of poetry to your audience is probably going to be lower than here, a poetry forum. this is definitely the place to get help getting better at writing a poem. but for what is being said and the story being told, i'm sure your audience will like it. it had a nice flow and rhyme, and that is probably what most people will get out of it orally. (besides your unique story)

    Mi piace l'italiano. L'italia è un paese meraviglioso. il mio italiano è orribile.

    Buona fortuna, Buon natale, and Felice anno nuovo.
