Rewind.
Take a few steps back—
Remember the way you used to think
When life was innocent,
And love was only a dream?
Back when your sickness was merely a spark;
When the meaning of “heartbreak”
Literally meant a crack in the heart.
Look hard into the past;
I want you to see the light in your eyes.
It has been a little over two years now;
But time has passed slowly
So you could catch a glimpse
Of what you were becoming.
In childhood, you were pure;
Or at least on the surface—
And now, somehow, you’ve crossed into
An adult world in which you find purposelessness.
You sit and observe
The children that laugh and live without a care,
The boy who skins his knee but acts tough—
And you wonder if they will turn out bad, like you
When those good little children grow up.

Very impressive. Your imagery is very potent and well used (I love the "boy who skins his knee but acts tough"). I would suggest playing it up even more--using images instead of annotations to tell the story, and commentary more to put it in place.
On a separate note, spacing it out more might make it easier to read. The way you use punctuation is very effective, though.
I assume this is not actually the first poem you've written. Still, congradulations on finding a place to share your work.
Write on,
Solomon |

Hi
Impressive visual piece. I like the way this grows from a small memory into a heartfelt life lesson.
Nicely done. |
