Supreme Dictator For Life

My attempt at poetry
I fell in love with this rhyme scheme a ways back and wrote this poem. I found out later that it's a slam poetry meter and rhyme scheme. All criticism is welcome.
I call it, "A Dedication" To the girl who challenges all paradigms Who sanctifies with but her eyes What to myself I relate beneath my sighs And berate my mind for my own fate. A security blanket if the soul be timid Anonymity burrows my whole daring each breath To be bolder than the last (dare it be shy, dare it to pass) What's causing me to lose all control? Clutching the clandestine, you are the light To every cry and every fright, you insti- -gate the healing of all you love and all you find But this digs you deeper into my mind. We create for ourselves a considerable crisis Left to our own devices what will suffice is Strife to our core, which is what life is Gluttony of Dionysus, we beg for more. Dictated by ambition, we continue on Strands of sanity plucked until they're gone For the rest of our days, all that's left is set ablaze What is it I'm failing to see? Chasing non-existent wishes, together we are lost In a passionless enigma at the cost of paths crossed We yearn firstly for class since our desire is to learn Because education cannot wait its turn.
