As a reader, there are things I will judge heavily (and not so heavily) when deciding what to read.

Any parts in your book that occur before the first chapter
The first chapter is a make it or break it for me...

Prologue:
Overall Appearence
'Why does a book of poetry have a prologue?'
I can't help but wonder.
I feel as if I walked in on quite the blunder.
Is it of the future
Or of the past?
This is a question I can't help but ask.
A prologue is an event in the characters past or future that is relevant to the characters present and information the reader needs to have to better understand the character.
You've also spelt prologue incorrectly. And 'Thoughts' shouldn't have an apostrophe in the title. I don't think.... I'm terrible with apostrophes.
Breakdown
There are a lot of unnecessary words in this that slow down the rhythm of the poem.
Spelling and punctuation
'Multiple times repeatedly' is redundant.
'Everything' should be capitalized.
'Its' to 'it's'.
Sometimes you use punctuation, sometimes you don't. All or nothing.
'Are cries' to 'Our cries'.
It sounds as if the friends are leaving their parents.
'are sanity' or 'our sanity'.
Likability
There are a lot of unneccarily words and lack of flow that holds this poem from reaching it's potentional.
