Okay the first one was riddled with spelling mistakes that I would not normally make and so I'm reposting this.
Have you ever felt spent time seep through your tired pores?
Like the dirty suds in a discarded sponge in the back of a bathroom drawer
It sits under your dry, cracked skin. It makes it blue and pale.
And like the forgotten loaf in the cupboard it turns so quickly stale.
You reach inside and try to hold on, gripping with sore thumbs
It falls apart through fingers and you're left with only crumbs
You can still taste them on your tongue just now with bitter edge
They sit in your palm as vague memories and snapshots in your head
You must brush your palms off, my friend and though I know it hurts.
If you allow those crumbs to mould it can only get much worse
They'll poison you and no amount of meds will rectify.
You must brush your palms off, my friend and I will help you try.

I tried singing it to the tune of "Dixie," but it didn't work very well.

2) You suck
3) I'm hungry

Do you know what? I'm actually ashamed that I missed both of those.
Those are mistakes that I would NEVER normally make. I feel I should repost this.

sure, why not?

Though an admitted minority, there are a number of uberers who welcome poetry.
You need to some work on spelling, punctuation, and meter. It's "pores" and "drawer", not "pours" and draw". Even if you pronounce it "draw", it no longer rhymes, you see. Your punctuation is all over the place, and you have an inconsistent number of syllables in some lines.
Hope this helps.

It really depends on whether the poetry is decent or not.
