You are the overpowering smell of cheap perfume in an airless room,
Thick make-up on a four year old girl,
The unnatural light from a flickering neon sign that illuminates an alleyway where the rats and rabble mingle,
You evoke something in me that makes every fibre of my body recoil in revultion,
You are the splattered blood stains on a public toilet wall,
The syringe laying in a childrens playground,
The hand that pushes an old lady down to an icy pavement,
You provoke something deep inside that makes my soul scream with repulsion,
You disgust me

This is an extremely dark piece and it might have served you better in that particular forum and thought I might mention that for next time.

The most valuable thing you own is a smile, wear it, and share it.

Anya, just because Xander broke up with you doesn't mean you need to be a vengeance demon...

Oh ...... sorry.

*ahem*

I love the power of these words.

By the way, you don't have to post in Dark, but I'd love to see you there anyway! We love new voices! (so does the rest of PIP)

anya, this is some power emotion here. The images you chose to use are quite stinging and aptly portray the level of your emotion here. And? no need to apologize..."Open" forum means just that--you did not err...but there ARE some wonderful writers who seem to keep to the dark--check it out some time! And post in either forum...I'll find ya!

See?  What the heck do I know, it is that darn old generation gap thing again, (never thought I would say what my Mom said) and yes, those were some powerful words in there for sure!

anya, i love it.  calls to mind the reaction of those who met Stevenson's Mr. Hyde.  though they were at a loss to say how or why they felt disgusted in his presence, you have done it wonderfully.  i love your use of "revultion" and "repulsion." thank you.

Poets write what they feel deeply..you do not err in what you express..EVER. That is a matter for only God to judge. now as to the way it was written: I say very creative way to express that anger, because those unrighteous evil things in the world do digust us You go girl!

regardless of what forum this is posted in, it is a very powerful and truthful poem in many ways and you express it very well.  Wonderful writing!

If I have touched one heart through my words, then I have acheived my dream...
