cold
gone just gone
flying away
help me
it hurts so bad
so, so bad
i...i can't breath
help
ah...thats better
i don't know why
i am always so perfect
whats wrong with me
why
just tell me
quit keeping secrets
i'm getting tired of that
you lie
at least i have one true friend
someone who likes me
for who i am
not what i look like
for they don't exactly know
i havn't met them yet
no i don't care how i spelled it
did i ever?
o look
more blonde haired prissy girls
not me
i can't stand that
blonde prototype
or whatever that word is
not all of us are like that
look at me for me
get the picture now
the pain is there again
it keeps coming
what is wrong
its not me
i relize
its the knife you keep
that hurts me
your words
they aren't exactly pie
but i just like you
i can't explain
could you
love me for who i am
and that should be enough

there's something i just can't understand about this piece.

who is it directed to?  it seems as though you're trying to go for the torn inside style.  [as in you're dealing with yourself entirely].  however, you then seem to venutre off into the idea of bringing someone else into this.  a boy?  i think it would have a more definite impact if you edited out the other person.  the feelings and sayings in here gave me the idea that you were torn with issues of yourself.  and so forth.

there was some very real emotion in this piece.  and for that i applaud you, you did a great job.  however i found you had a tendency to use overly-common cliches to profess your pain.  another edit would definitely do this piece justice.  [especially for spelling].  it has some very real potential.

good write and thanks for sharing.

I liked the poem and understood it fine, but it's all over the place. You cover so many different thoughts and topics in such a short time, even the mispelling of a word (how did that apply to what you're feeling for this 'somebody'?). Other than that, the poem was fine. Well done.

It was a bit jumbled, and like Jen mentioned, you had a bit too many common phrases... I understand you probably wrote this with the "state of mind" thing as your primary focus, again... but there was still a lot that I think you could have improved on.  It's lacking a lot of the visual appeal your other poetry has.

Well, it's a good poem and better than most of the stuff in Teen...   but it's a bit below average for what I'd expect from you.  Still, nicely written and keep up the good work.
