Welcome to poetry PA. Existential pondering is often a subject for first poems, but is difficult to engage/interest the reader with bland introspection. This piece would be improved by eliminating many of the questions. The 'should a', 'could a', 'want a' queries are a bit weak to open with. You need to incorporate some metaphor and images to draw the reader in. Good luck with your next edit and pursuit of poetry./Chris
