    This poem has a lot of potential. I like it. You just need to make a few adjustments; for example, you should capitalize any single I. You also need to add correct punctuation. Another thing that I noticed was how you used numbers for words. That should never be done. It takes away from the sentimental value of the poem. I also think that some parts of the flow were a little awkward; it may have been the numbers that threw it off. You should also capitalize the beginning letter of each new sentence. I also think that you should tighten up the loose ends a bit. For example, your first stanza:

    I try to let go of my past
    to 4get all the bad and live 4 the good
    i try 2 4get all the worries and live free.

    Try this:

    I try to let go of my past,
    Forget all the bad and live for the good;
    Ignore the worries and be free.

    Your second stanza:

    i try 2 hide my pain and keep a smile
    on my face, i try to start over with no
    worries, but come to find out that the pain
    and the worries will never go away
    because i keep living in my past and not
    4 my future

    Try this:

    I try to hide my pain and keep a smile.
    Wanting to start over without worries.
    But I found out their both here to stay,
    Because I keep living in the past,
    And not the present.

    You don't have to do it exactly that way; it's just a suggestion. : ) Overall, I really did enjoy reading this poem and I look forward to seeing your changes. You have a lot of potential, and with time you will bloom into a magnificent poet.
