Ok, so I got the grade for this poem back, and my teacher gave me a 73 on it...
I know this isn't my best work, but does it seriously deserve a 73??

This is exactly what I gave her:

Two years ago I wrote something like this -
A sonnet, to you, of love. How foolish
I thought I could seal that poem with a kiss.
But sweet words as those often diminish.
My love, I wrote, ran through fields with no bounds
Oh how blind I was to the walls that stood
Around me. And how sweetly your voice sounded
Of "I love you". Lies. A foolish falsehood.
Love? How? You barely understood yourself.
But, apparently, I knew just as much.
So now we're friends, you put love on the shelf,
But you ignore me. You're not even as such.
Hate you, I want to hate you, but I can't.
'Cause, in your special way, you're holding my hand


Please be honest with me. Because I'm confused as hell. I got points taken off because she didn't understand lines 11, 12, and 14. She also took points off for punctuation and other idiosyncratic stuff. Is this really a C poem?

Electroshock therapy, mind-numbing pills
They change my behaviour to cure all my ills
I love the asylum, my own padded cell
I'll stay here forever, for outside it's hell.
