Kind of a downer. Does this count as poetry? What devices do I need to put in?

Like something's dragging me down.
And I just can't come back up.

I'm feeling better now
That weight is leaving now
But through my wrists, now

I feel weird
Like something's making me float
And I just want to come back down.
so the poem is saying
[i've slit my wrists and am bleeding out]

everything else means and shows the reader very little, using intangibles as statements doesn't really work.[ i feel weird like wet lettuce] would be a simile and those as well as cousin the [i'm a weird wet lettuce] metaphor convey much more. watch out for the repetitions, you have too many, all could be removed/changed without damaging the poem
