What do people make of this poem? Does it make sense?
It makes a great deal of sense. One problem/issue is that you spend a lot of time making sure that your audience knows exactly what you're saying. You repeat certain ideas and notions seemingly without purpose. Don't give the audience every step to take. Let them take your mind's work for a ride. Lines like:"And you realise that time does have a face, and it's yours.It's your very own face, the one you use to face this brand new world you now belong to." are a bit distracting. Something like "Time has a face and you've seen it so many times, staring back from the mirror. This familiar face is now an innocent identity with which to explore the new and still all too familiar world". With that, the audience must ask questions and explore your goals and purpose for the poem.
