I do not know the kind of poem this would fall under so sorry that i can't give that info... I am a real beginner when it comes to finding were it belongs, though i am not a beginner at writing them.... please give your opinion and any and all constructive criticism, as well as help for a name please and thank you.

Fly away to some distant land,
would you join me?

If I knew the things you do,
would have brought a happiness I never have known.

I would have brought my full self,
showing exactly who I am.

Climb this mountain and let’s reach our goals,
finding ourselves more in control.

My friends are close,
my soul is afloat.

I still search for something more,
though all I want is to know peoples feelings.

My friends have helped me,
More than they know.

I would be lost;
I owe them more than even I know.

Well, a few things I see right away as a grammar nazi...

In the second stanza, you might want to reword it to:

"To know the things you do,
would bring a happiness I have never known."

Then in the sentence, "my soul is a float", it should be "afloat", no space.

Why is the word feelings capitalized?

Then "My friends have helped my", should be "helped me".

As for a title, you might consider "Friends". Short, simple and to the point.

Hope this helped. I know there aren't too many members online recently.
