My work:
My family and I live in Chicago
My family is poor and leaves me to work all day
We live in an apartment that is way too small for us
There is barely any room to sleep

My only friend is the couch and it has no smile
Because it is worn and faded, it has been here a while
Being at home is boring so I decide to take a walk
This gets me thinking and I begin to talk

Living in this poor neighborhood is like watching paint dry
Everything we own is either smells or looks as if it is going to die
Just like rotten food
I just want to move into a shiny new neighborhood

Yet like so many before it broke us too
Still, with no financial security, we make the move
(ADD 2 MORE LINES)

Every warning heard was tossed away
For now, all we want to do is stay
We stick out as though we're in a spotlight
But we aren't going anywhere without a fight

We are trying to find a home for all of us to live
But the prices are too high

Hello! You've done well so far by adding a simile (stanza 3, line 1) and repetition (stanza 1, beginning of lines 1 and 2). But I'd like to help add some personification to the poem with the first 2 lines since A. it rarely shows up and B. it's one of the most important factors towards a poem when creating something with such detail.

"The future winking at us wishing us good luck
as we wash away worries with ideas of us being stuck"

These two lines offer personification because we give the "future" a human attribute of winking and wishing luck towards a person. Also, Alliteration is included in both these lines which can be seen by the repetition of "w"'s makes it's way in the second half of the first line and the first half of the second line.

I want to add some repetition for the end since you started with repetition at the beginning since it'll bring your ideas together in a much neater way.

"My family still keeps it's traditional pride
My family will push on making one last stride."

You have the repetition in "my family" as you used above, and it explains the ending of the book with the family still being who are they, only they accomplished there goal by making one final action, which is making the move.

I hope these lines help and if you need any more help, feel free to ask!
