Buried pain shows through this weak skin
A poor covering held together by a single pin
Torn and tattered peices fall and chip away
For eternity, this pain and hurt seems to stay
Darkened clouds blanket the sun
Laying in the dust covered road
As I remeber all I've done
Forgotten lies and deciete
Now laying at my feet
Trying everything to make it disappear
Praying safety to all I hold dear.

Welcome to PiP, nice first post.

*****
Buried pain shows through this skin(my skin mite work better)
A poor covering held together by a single pin(love that line.)
Torn and tattered peices fall and chip away(also very nice)
For eternity, this pain and hurt seems to stay( semi cliche but still pretty good)
Darkened clouds blanket the sun(nice imagery)
Laying in the dust covered road(nice imagery here too )
As I remeber all I've done(*remember)
Forgotten lies and deciete(*deceit, and  you change the rymbe scheme all of  a sudden starting with 'dust covered road')
Now laying at my feet
Trying everything to make it disappear
Praying safety to all I hold dear.(praying safely for all i hold dear or the way it is that is a bit confusing.

Hope you didn't mind the crittique if you don't want me to crittique I can stop.

Hi Shades_of_blue,

Welcome to passions teen forum! Glad ya decided to join us

I liked this poem, I liked what it's about. The ending part would have to be my favorite, something about it is very touching...

Enjoyed reading this one and I hope to see more from you in the near future!~

Hey, welcome to Pip!  First of all, this is really an awesome poem, full of a lot of raw emotions, which is good.  Second, your rhyming scheme DID change in the middle (which rhia pointed out), but that's all right.  Very nice first post, I can't wait to read more!

When I stopped trying find the right guy, and concentrated on being the right girl, the right guy found me.
