Help with Iambic Pentameter
Hello I am looking for help with my sonnet that is supposed to be in Iambic Pentameter form and I am having so much trouble with it. If you guys could help out I would be so happy and it would make my whole entire week!
I tried putting as much as I could in Iambic Pentameter form but I think I'm tone deaf. If one of you could take the time to help me out it would save my school year.
Hearts can be the land of mercy or doubt
As for Much as love is never ending
Until you see no mercy given out
Full of a hatefulness and mending
Fiery laced hearts in the chests of many
For they are blinded by the cliche of love
Severely Broken and torn in plenty
Tears of a flood or dead as a dove
Red cheeks stained with a fearful depression
Some clothes covered in blood and torn to shreds
The way out is death or intervention
Fall in the coma of darkness in bed
to be lifted up by life once again
Always know fate will never lose but win

I have looked at previous threads and none have really helped me. I am just looking for a little bit of guidance of what to do here. I just want to know what lines are close to Iambic Pentameter and some help to make this actually a decent sonnet.

Each line must have the rhythm
di dah di dah di dah di dah di dah,
('di' being an unstressed syllable and 'dah' a stressed syllable).
Only the third line of your effort meets that criterion.
