I wish I could glow.
Like the sunshine in eighty degree weather.
Or maybe like the plastic stars stuck up on your ceiling.
I've tired of the radioactivity I've filled with.
Its glow is harsh and artificial.
I wish I could float.
Like a kite on a soft breeze.
Or maybe like the leaves on your oak tree.
I've tired of the rocks that weigh me down.
They are much too heavy .
I wish I were lucid.
Like a crystal dangling on a string.
Or maybe like the glass pane in your bedroom window.
I've tired of this skin.
It's much too opaque.
It's much too real.

I don't like the rhythm. The language that you use, your diction, is great. I love nearly every line individually, but together they don't have any coherence together. Some of them are close, like "I wish I could float. / Like a kite on a soft breeze", but they don't pull enough weight to help the rest of the poem.
I'm not quite sure what "the pane in your bedroom window" means in comparison to "lucid".
Other than the way the lines don't work together, I like the mood of the poem and the imagery you use. You have a good balance of free, floating images, such as kites, dangling crystals, stars, etc., but you balance it with more realistic images. Even though it isn't the best written poem, it still means something--to me as well as to you and probably to others--and that matters more than how well it is written.
Muwahahahahaha.
