The dark corners of your mind

0 posted 2002-08-14 07:28 PM



Swallow me like a pill
I become you
We are forever bound
This is not life
This is not death
Wake up to the world around you
Wake up to the truth of your lies
Go back to sleep
You are blind
You will always be dependant on the pill

The truth? I thought it was powerful. Other then that, I feel led to type nothing else. A pukka piece of writing, Jessica.

Sincerely,
Titus

hey,
this was kinda morbid, but i definetly thought it was cool. i especially thought the first two lines were powerful.

maybe i'll catch fire, something nice to warm me. something pure to burn away the darkness, that hides inside my mind. -alkaline trio-

I liked the length of this poem, you got your point across and didn't get long winded which I think helped this particular poem, helped give it more of an impact, anyway I thought this was a clever poem

Welcome to Passions!

Excellent first post, Jessica. You've established a strong base in your opening lines and finished it off nicely.

I look forward to reading many more pieces from you and seeing lots of your replies around the forum.

Imagination=nostalgia for the past, the absent; it is the liquid solution in which art develops the snapshots of reality.

short sentences add a greater impact on the reader....great use of it!

probably the main reason why i like it is because you didn't go into too much depth..you wrote just enough to hit the me!

look forward to reading your other poems...
