Well it's about how I've come to accept that this is the way things turned out and God's still gonna do great things in my life even though she won't be a part of it 
it will still make me sad sometimes but I find her beautiful even though she chose to leave
Hmm 
I see
I'm not very good at poetry so it sounded like it was a toxic person 
I think the first paragraph is the most confusing one
So basically, roses are beautiful even though they have thorns that hurt us. Even though I was hurt by what my friend did, I still found our friendship before that beautiful and I would likely fall for it again if given the chance. That's what I was trying to say
You know, if you don't count Haiku (JP), I don't think I've ever written a single piece of poetry in my entire life. Not even in my native language 
I might give it a go, looks like it could be fun.
You know what I just came up with something, probably not for poetry but maybe a song lyric or something.
I don't want [someone] to like me because of [my flaws]
I don't [someone] you to like me despite of [my flaws]
I want [someone] to like me
Is this good?? (And does it make sense) 
Also I need to think of better words 
The second line kinda sounds like you're rejecting acceptance, so it's a little weird (unless that's what you were going for). Nothing wrong with it otherwise. Fix it up a little bit and it's good to go 
"despite of" should just be "despite", common mistake.
Ah, I guess it doesn't make sense then
It's not about me personally, it's just a concept You know like in stories and whatnot there's always like some weird character who's like "Ah I love them because they're crazy" or something or like there's other characters that are like "Oh they're ugly and annoying but I love them anyway", which is like ugh 
That's not really caring about someone. Do you get what I mean?
You're right it should be despite 
That's so random Seeji 
Also you should totally give poem-writing a try ギョルギ九十三, it's so much fun 
I spent some time writing one yesterday. In general I like darker themes. It's AABB, since the other patterns are harder to write in.
I think it turned out fine, at least I like it. Might write some more at some point.
Endless Night
Upon my heart, the darkest veil
Within my soul, the loudest wail
I searched for hope for all my life
Yet found nothing—only strife
They surround me, all these walls
From above me, darkness falls
No fair winds to tell my tale
A ship so damaged, it may never sail
Lord have mercy on my soul
All these walls—to one day fall
Will I ever see the light,
Or will my life be endless night?
Here's a quick Haiku to go along with it:
闇の道
深淵の声
希望の火
That's incredible for your first poem 
I enjoy darker themes as well; I feel like my poetic inspiration comes most often when I'm experiencing those emotions.
Thank you! 
I've read a decent amount of classic poetry. I really like The Raven and Invictus, for example. I'm also very comfortable with English, even though it's my second language.

Darker emotions, like sadness or loneliness

I love "The Raven" too! Edgar Allan Poe has some great poems and short stories. I own lots of classic poetry books
