Once Stained never forgotten.
You'll always see
the deepest black ink
upon my snow white record.
You'll see the one spill
upon my gleaming white appearance
which took me so long to complete.
But the spill marks me
a darkened dream in your eyes
and I'll never become
the pure beautiful being
that you saw me as before.
I tried so hard not to ruin
my whitest self being
but the true me will never be back,
just a mask which covers my pure self.
Comisorations, anticipations, congratulations,
its what you wanted to see.
Once stained never forgotten.

This is very deep, not everyone can write exactly what I feel in a poem, this was one poem that contained how I felt in a nutshell.

Like they said, this is good, its really deep. Now I know this was probably intentional, but the constant repetition of the words "pure" and "stain" might want to be looked into. Or maybe I'm just crazy. Whatever you think is great! Keep writing!

I only used the word stained twice in the first and last line and that was intentional because it is a repeat line.  I too used the word pure only twice intentionally to show that there was the same amout of pure as stain yet they still see the stain because it shows up deeper.

I REALLY like this one, Kim.  The message is one that I'm sure many people can connect with.
"But the spill marks me
a darkened dream in your eyes
and I'll never become
the pure beautiful being
that you saw me as before."
I really liked that lines.  I really liked the use of the symbolism between the "white" and the "ink".  Nice work!  Very well done.
