Note: Yea I really dislike this one, but I do think I should post it seeing as how the message meant a lot to me at the time and in some sense still does. Backstabbed by Life: Reaching out to nothigness. Lost within a torn mind. I can't go my own way. I'm too attached to hate. Rain drops from heaven Hit my head like rock. I bleed like no other. I cry with no pain. Muscle spasms beacon. A sprint of utter desire. Tripping just before the finish. The losses of losses indeed. Killing the spirit within. I've lost all that was me. A carcass lays dried up in the sun. The sun that gave me life.  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I'm in love with my shadow I admire it daily |

Very interesting... I was always told that a good poem was one that wasn't just out there to read, but a piece of work that had twists and turns to a point where it made you think of what it really meant. Yuppers, this is one that made me think. "You do what you do, you say what you say, you try to be everything to everyone... come on now, do that stupid dance for me" -Everclear |

AWESOME title. Incredible.. i like when you write like this, its so much easier to understand and at the same time it doesnt lose its abstract qualities...brilliant.. one of my favs of yours dude... specially liked: "Tripping just before the finish. " nice nice... library bound! JR When life dims to a perish, my life will become a quote in itself... |

"A sprint of utter desire. Tripping just before the finish." Excellent imagery Javier! The tortured emotions came through very vividly in this piece. The lines above really presented a great mental picture ... great expressive writing!  Best wishes, /Kit |

that wasn't all I had to say about your poem, DD, I just had to go b/c I was on a school computer in my classroom and class had just ended, and everyone was leaving, so ya understand, but anyways, why don't you like this? Just wondering. I wish people would stop telling me that I can do anything I want to. I never thought that I couldn't. |

Dopey: I really enjoyed the contrast at the end of this poem. The sun that gives you life, drying up the carcass. That was well written. This is quite a good description of being backstabbed.

Seems as if you've seen something in this poem I didn't. Personally I do not like it. I think it's poorly written...... Anyway, I do like the message. I think it's important to read if you'd like to get to know me at all. I mean, this basically portrays how it is to LIVE for life.....to do everything good for the benefit of others...Always being there, always helping, and caring about nature to the point where I cannot harm an ant.....and WHAM....backstabbed by my very own existance.... So yea..... thanks all.....means a lot. I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I'm in love with my shadow I admire it daily |

What's this? I didn't reply? Sheesh now I feel bad...not replying to my own brother's poem...Anyways, I didn't think it was too poorly written. The message definitely stood out.

Terrific thoughts Dopey. You clearly deminstrated your message. I don't think it was as bad as you make it out to be but you HAVE done better... actually only one verse read oddly yo me and th was: """ Rain drops from heaven Hit my head like rock. I bleed like no other. I cry with no pain """ But that verse says so much. So overall you get an A-... hehe Nice one, Jason |

Thanks everybody! Once again, it means a lot to me. And allan, I know. I posted it due to the message. I wanted some of you to know how I've felt about a certain situation. How painful things can get here in my life. You see, I post my work so you all get to know WHO I am. I felt it was quite an imperative poem due to the message alone. The style, format, and wording is not my best like you said. No worries though......I'll keep sharing!! I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I'm in love with my shadow I admire it daily |

Acire, I think you're trying to spoil me on purpose.....but I appreciate it. See you round pal! I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

It's funny because the poem was on page 2 and I was about to post a new poem, but then you replied and put it on page one! Hahaha now I can rest assure that I probably won't be posting a new one for another day. I think you did that on purpose too!! I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I'm in love with my shadow I admire it daily |

Oke you already got a bunch of people replying and I'm the late one, but I figured I'd throw in my 2 cents. (Even though I'll most likely say something somebody else already has.) Anyway, I really like it. Mostly because it relates well to myself and I always like that in a poem. It forms a bond. It is also written very well, though you think it's poorly written. We're always very critical of ourselves. But hey, that pushes us to growth and that my friend is beautiful. and in the end we still pretend the time we spend not knowing when we're finally free and you could be -NIN "The Wretched" Angel of Darkness [This message has been edited by Dark Enchantress (edited 03-06-2001).] |

Now why couldn't something like this happen to one of MY poems?  Well it seems everyone liked this poem more than you and I, Javier. But like I said, the message was not lost on me.  Stupidity makes the world go around...and people like us laugh. ~~Elizabeth, to Allan |

That's good to know allan!! As long as the message got through, then I am set. I am glad that some people relate to it...it might help them out a bit. You know, like, make them feel like their not alone. Anyhow....yea I posted my new one.....so we can let this one fade away. It seems that all the poems I sort of like get 7-10 replies and the ones I absoluetly hate get 20+ replies. What's up with that??!?!?! Anyway! Thank you all.....means a lot! I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I'm in love with my shadow I admire it daily |

Life is full of surprises and not all are full of joy. Good poem, to the point and it has a message that will indeed be faced by all of us at some point. I see the darkness coming all is bleak… |
