Traffic Jam

I sat in lines

At biting point

Biting my lip

Then gave it up

Put my lip balm

And the hand brake on.

 

Staring out I

Swam away

From all-combusting

Fits of flames

I, treading thoughts

'Til the tide changed.

 

Then snorting fumes

I blew away

Flew queue jumps

Flipped bird parades

'Til stung by horns

I thudded down

 

And sauntered on

To meet the day.

I like this poem Natalie. It might need a bit of tinkering but show me a new poem that doesn't? One thing i would add though is that, for all your readers' good intentions, i think they do you a disservice by offering their own alternate lines. Criticism is one thing but suggesting or providing re-writes is inappropriate. Once you incorporate them the poem, as good bad or indifferent as it may be, ceases to be your work. And why else do you write if not to express YOURself?
