While rhyme can sound good, your poem was held back by you trying to force it.
Meter and flow is more important than rhyme, so try to read it aloud and see where is sounds off, then edit the line until it works.

[a mod made a guide about how to smoothly rhyme](https://www.reddit.com/r/OCPoetry/comments/5jmylp/bad_poetry_1_how_not_to_rhyme/?st=JI4ND8M0&sh=bdfb506d) 

Your rhyme seems forced and that makes it sound choppy. Don't get stuck on making your lines so symmetrical, either. Get to the root of what it is you're tying to say. 

I would lengthen each line to give a deeper and more poignant message. The pace and rhyme structure didn’t give me enough of an impact.   

I didn't like it when I should've

and excuse for this or that

I would always move it

as if sweeping under the mat.
 
&amp;nbsp;

Silly reasons were laid out

since nothing better came out

I was always fond of hiding

what was true and what was false.
 
&amp;nbsp;

I'd like to move forward very much

even when walking through the thorns

I'm used to being brave and bold

usually when I'm close to the bunch.
 
&amp;nbsp;

I'm sure you can relate

it can't be only me

who flees every time

there's a third person in the play.
 
&amp;nbsp;

There is no easy way

to break down the news

I might have to decline

to get away with the crime.
 
&amp;nbsp;

Unbothered by reality

I always seemed to be ahead

and even though involuntarily

I learned to accept my own mentality.
