Things I Hate
I hate that I live,
each day with doubt.
I hate that I don’t know,
what will come out.
I hate that I live,
my life in such shame.
I hate that every day,
I cause all the pain.
I hate that I don’t know,
what will come each day.
I hate that I can’t,
decide to go which way.
I hate that I have,
no future ahead.
I hate that the truth is,
I’m better off dead.
I hate that I don’t,
know what to expect.
I hate that I’ve made,
everyone’s life a wreck.
I hate that to all,
I am just a disgrace.
I hate that every day,
they have to see my face.

Poem of despair, for sure, first the individual on his own pain and angst for where he is and what he doesn't know and then the self-loating for what he has done to others.
The first part, I think, comes across very well, and this should be a poem by itself--singular theme of the angst, confusion and the despair because of it all.
The theme of pain to other people and his own self-loating for what is has caused should be another poem, but I think it would help to explain, describe what he did to bring about their pain.
staying with one idea at a time, i think, is more powerful and has more clarity; by putting or adding another idea causes confusion unless both ideas are married to each other in a precise manner.

I know how this feels, I still get this feeling once in a while. But you've gotta remember that we can't control others, meaning they're responsible for their own choices. We can't cause anything. We're only as powerful as others let us be.
