How do you feel about this?
This is my poem.....please tell me what you think about it?
Familiar
In the background of my mind
there lays a hope
In a life of yesterday
I kneeled as a pope
A High Priestess in a gown
flowing and white
with a dove on my shoulder
waiting to take flight
In another dream
engulfed by the sun
looking back at an army
I had no choice but to run
Holding onto a baby
so mighty and strong
running from the truth
what I knew all along
In a foreign country
scared for my life
I'm not sure how I got there
just that there was strife
Knocked back into the present
I repented of all wrong
folding my hands in prayer
I knew it would not be long
Slipping into my death
to start another dream
A baby is born
in her eyes that same

I do like your poem, I think you need to change it slightly only because some of it is rhyming and some isn't. I think if you spend a little more time on it and make the rhyming consistent it will make your poem even better.
As you read it just make sure it bounces along at the same tempo if you get my meaning. It makes a poem easier to read in my opinion.
Great content and theme, with a little more work, this poem has real potential.
This is only my opinion and of course you might love it just the way it is, which is great. I also write poetry and often the only person it makes sense to is me. I like to share it to get other peoples opinions, sometimes I take into consideration their comments and make changes if I think it will improve it, and other times I think it is perfect just the way it is.
Keep writing.
