If you don't give your poem layers you're only talking in rhyme. Stringing comments together. Your thoughts and feelings are getting expressed, but you're not doing anything interesting with language. Lots of people can read this and relate to it, but that's the problem. If eighty people in the school were asked to write a poem on this subject it would all come out about the same. Most of it probably except for that above average intelligence line.
