Contribute, rate and critic

My newest work, i'm still learning (started about two weeks ago)
---
Walking, hoping just to see you,
Hoping you're alone,
Hoping you will notice.

Picking your streets, I try not to look,
But my mind tricks me, and my eyes wander away.

And when they do, I see you,
In the corner,
as a figure.
Or an ghost,
A see-through wish.

I will throw myself under the feet of your dreams,
Just to know am I there.

Do you see me?
Do you remember me?
As time goes by, I start to believe my answers.

I'll start, tell me how badly i suck:

I fly,
Towards the blackness,
Towards the blues and the whites,
I fly; I know I'm a bird.
Freedom, expressed entirely with confident swings,
With small wings, I fly;
I fly to highness.
Each swing tears my body apart,
As I try to stay high, I forget;
A bird can't fly if there is no sky.

An 18 year old man that's forced to storm beaches on D-Day is known as a war 'veteran'.

A woman that gets an unwanted dick in her vagina is called a rape 'survivor'.

I've caught the retards

After graduating High School 2 years ago my writing and spelling has gone down the complete shitter. For fucks sake, I'm misspelling basic words.

How can I fix this and stimulate my mind? My career doesn't involve this kind of stuff ( firefighting ).

Has the 1st World achieved hyper-reality?
