Pick me up and turn me round,
Hold me close and choose what you've found.
Make the choice and pick your fate,
dont ever worry, because your not too late.
I know it seems silly, and you probably dont care
but i hope you know what youve done, when your not even there.
Paint my future with your hand in mine,
Put the past with the regrets and just give it time.
Shoot for then moon, and hope you hit,
Aim for the stars and pray you fit.
Make your mark and impress my law
Create your rules, and make my cure.
Your my God, and Im your follower,
But your excuses are just making my heart seem hollower.
these words are just words and even if they rhyme
Its not like they have the power to turn back time.

This is far too direct. You need to find ways to create metaphors and images in the reader's mind. Also, hollower... should be 'more hollow'. Although I know you're trying to rhyme, it just doesn't sound good. If I'm honest, the last two lines are the only lines I think are worth saving.

I would have to agree with Lew_1987
I dont really like that style of rhyming at all
to me its very, "im a little emo kid cutting myself in the corner" poem
no depth, no life, no color
just "my life sucks"
read up on some of the great poets in our world
you might pick up somthing

I'll take this as sarcasm.
If you didn't want honest feedback, then you really shouldn't post your lyrics. If you just want a load of "This is really great!" comments, then just keep your lyrics between you and your friends. Friends will give you the answer you want, but not the answer you need.
I didn't even attack you personally, I told you what I honestly think will improve your writing. It was constructive criticism, i.e. I didn't just say I didn't like it, I told you specific things I would change and gave you hints and how you could improve generally. I don't see what there is to get offended over.

then don't post something if you don't want criticism
not everyone's going to be all "omg omg omg its like so good omg"
if you cant take it then don't post

OK. You need to read some professional level poetry. I'm sure this simple stuff can impress people who don't know what good poetry really is but to any serious readers, your writing style is very elementary using simple rhyme schemes and cliched metaphors.
Check out some Robert Frost ("Home Burial" is a good place to start). I feel like since he writes about regular everyday issues a lot, you can really learn something from reading his poetry and analyzing, figuring out why it's good poetry.
