Where?
She looks. Where? Where she have Lost herself? Confused. Gone. Disappeared.
Where? Where do you look For something so close that feels so far?
And even If she finds it What next? Where? Where to go?
She stands outside. Where Where the stars fall Where the grass grows Where the moon shines.
She looks. Where? She wants. She loves. She asks. Where? Where does she belong?
Hope you like it, I would kill for some advice!!!

Thanks. That first thing was...er... a typo. oops.
I thought the repetitive thing sounded a little off, but I stuck with it.

For this poem, the first thing I would do would be to fix the grammar in the first section where it reads "where she have." Every college level class I've taken that looks at poetry has told me never to ruin grammar in order to fit a specific beat or rhythm. Also, i know the poem is called 'Where,' but don't repeat the word as much as you do so that it ruins otherwise decent sections, like in sections three and four. I'd suggest getting rid of the "where" that just stands alone. Finally, read this out-loud to yourself and think over what you are trying to say. Make sure your grammar is how you want it to be and where the natural pauses are. Otherwise, you have a good start. Keep working on it. While waiting for the promised "best four years of [my] life" (Various People), I found YouthNoise. http://tinyurl.com/2kbx5p
