nd no i dont live in a cave?)
but yeh, 4 bedrooms, workin jus fine yo

then i found a word n started the rhymes
later on i had 10 lines
my bro saw it nd said "dis lyk mines"
i got so happy coz he the best
he like nas, tupac nd all the rest
his rhymes reach the sky coz they so high
yeh im bein honest here, ther aint no lie
non u can beat him vs in the rhymes
compared to his urs aint worth dimes (...sorry..bein honest)
i was interested in poetry coz the music
but now i quit music nd gota quit the new sick (poetry)

If you really like poetry you should study various poetic types in English.
Like read Beawulf, Shakespear, Poe, Dickenson, Milton etc.
you write good poetry but you seem to be fixed in a genre of kind of American hip hop sort of feel. Which is fine, like I said your poetry is good, however if you really want to be really go you might want to study these different routs so you can integrate more variety in your poetry.
I remember you have said you are from Yemen, is English your first language?
If not Beawulf and Shakespear would be very good for you to read, they are kind of the literary foundations of English so far as I know and they show how English works best in poetry. A friend of mine once said that English is "shallow" and that is true, compared to many language English is shallow and one must sail across it and the older English literary art can help you get a feel of the internal rythm of English which could help you with your poetry.
Nice Poem: )
