    Okay, so I'll start out saying I've read poems like this a thousand times. That's okay, but there's ways to make it so much more catchy;

    " No I'm nothing to myself...
    nothing to myself...
    when I'm nothing to myself"
    Try jazzing it up a bit, like;
    "No I'm nothing to myself...
    not a thing to myself...
    when I'm nothing to myself."

    It's not as expected and empasizes a bit more.

    some people say I is too much, not to use it at all.. I don't agree with that. But you can make a poem too wordy by using tiny words way too much and over and over.
    The first stanza is bad with the I's, one way to make it tons better is;
    "I often sit and I wonder why"
    Try;
    I often sit and wonder why

    Or
    "you wanted to make it you and i"
    you could do;
    you wanted us to make it.

    I personally think the first one flows better, both changed is just fine. but the first is by far the best, for me.

    this is a good poem. i don't vote unless i vote a 3 or higher (for future reference) because i don't want anyone's scores to be brought down significantly.
    i am giving you a 3 though, so i will vote
