Ahh, ignore what that one author says about this poem being a bad read. I might have to agree that it's entertainment quality is like, very low, but poetry as you know (and this guy doesn't) is often just about expression, and you've expressed yourself very well :) No, it's not the kind of material that would get published, but if it helped you at all to organize your mind, or to express your stresses, then then judging the goodness of this poem would be judging how well it worked.
Oh, but the wording is cool :P A bit more of a summary than a poem, but still kewl :D

No one cares about your life- diary (journal!) entries don't make good poetry. The references to an unnamed, vague "you" (which this poem revolves around) make this meaningless for a reader that does not know you (& a poem should rely on itself, not on the identity of its author).

Almost all of this is cliched- if you want to talk about your life, do it in an original way that's friendly to a reader- don't approach it in a way that's been done exactly the same a thousand gabazillion times.
