Untitled
Eyes fluttered open
and peered around
A virgin girl
on virgin ground
Green earth below
damp and warm
first conceived
existence was born
Palms pushed down
she got to her feet
a vague remembrance
in her memory too deep

Hey Destiny,
This needs a title, a good title makes all the difference.
"a vague remembrance/in her memory too deep"---very good line, it gives the reader a good hint of who "she" is
I would change "virgin ground" because it's used to describe the girl in the previous line maybe use "pure" or maybe a little deeper and use "transparent"
I would also use some punctuation, it helps the reader knowing when to pause and knowing what words are emphasized.
Overall, this had a sense of calm and a natural, earthy tone that's simple but can be interpreted in many ways. A solid read with an amazing ending.

first off destiny, give your poems a title, this one looks like it's called feedback
your 1st verse isn't too bad though it may have been better as four lines

same with the others. if you can, try and get a rhythm going that's the same in each verse. take it a step at a time.
