Yes, you certainly have the fire that ignites poetry.  This one, has some awkward wording – it’s almost as if words are missing and misplaced.  “

There’s always a thousand

born to express , not to interpret”  Just not sure what this means – it needs to be clearer and that could be accomplished by putting your emotion, on the page, in the form of an image.

“behind the bars of wilting world;” – Behind the bars of a wilting world – not sure “bars” and “wilting world” are a clear combination of images for me.

Again, thank you for sharing your work with me.  I am getting the feeling you are a prolific writer.  That’s great. A writer writes – that’s the only way for us to unburden ourselves, and reach out to connect with others.  I’m honored that you reached out to connect with me, Susan
