So much portrayed
on walls and canvases
on papers in journals,
yet I don't know
what I'm looking at
I can't see the eyes
that guided the paint brush
that willed the pen
I can't see myself
beyond the skin
beyond the pride
beyond the tears
beyond the silence
beyond the laughs
I don't know who I am


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"

Well I disagree with Bryan. I thought this poem was quite good.
The whole stretch of "beyond the"s was neat.
Very unique.

LOL@Bryan

This poem posseses so much meaning and power within it... It is truly amazing. As for not knowing who you are...That is a tuff situation to be in or get out of. I know from personal experience. All I can say is look in the mirror and dont wonder who you are..but why you are here. Think of all of the things you have done for and to people. Think of your family what you have gone through. Your dreams, goals, and achievments. And you never know.. you may find yourself along the way. ~Amanda~


Things will get better just be happy with what has come your way today, and keep living for what may come the next.~ By Amanda inspired by Brian

This is a really deep poem. I liked it a lot.. holds a lot emotion. I hope things do get better for you, but until then, keep your chin up.

I never thought that you would ever be the one to let me down. I guess that just goes to show how wrong I always am.

Hang in there Dark. One day you'll know who you are and it may even be sooner than you think.
I really like this piece. Probably because I can connect with it so easily. Your pieces are quite addictive which is a bloody good thing.
Keep writing and presenting work like this to us.

I thought it was quite good. With only a few words, you can express a whole universe of feelings. Keep up the good work Dark.
