Critique My Poem

Allow me to read aloud and then
Overanalyze my words
Count 1 my 2 syllables 5
Tell me to strengthen my images of childhood shootings and suicidal teens wrapping poetry around their necks gripping the stool with their toes to find meaning in words that have no meaning and then step off
Why are the curtains blue
Depression
Melancholy
Syntactically am I
Fulfilling your needs yet
How’s my form
Should I end
Stop here
Or Here
Insert insight here
[Moral philosophizing of pedophiles At the pulpit and gun laws in day(who)cares]
If it’s poetry you desire
You’ll find no slant rhyme
No haiku
Concision lacking
Poet technicalities
Please forgive the form
You haven’t used punctuation.
What could this mean
Don’t look for meaning
In plain sight you’ll find
nothing
Sometimes
The curtains are just fucking blue
