my heart feels like its leaking
don't mind me
i'm just here to clean up after myself
wouldn't want you to know i was here
in love with you
don't mind me
i'll just go off and cry in the corner
but thats ok
they're just tears
they're just tears
cellophane girl...

Poetry is a good way to let the heart "leak" and to clean up after oneself!  I'm not much one for giving deep critiques, just comments usually. .....

This is really neat.  "Cellophane" leaves me wondering about this transparent character.  "I'm just here to clean up after myself, I wouldn't want you to know I was here"....I LOVE THIS statement.  Very good!

My favorite movie of the recent past is Chicago
With the scene Cellophane as a personal favorite part,
So I was hopeful of a nice transparent person poem here,
Was disappointed with only the last line as any reference at all to the title.
A better title might have been Cleaning up the Tears
And then leaving the last line out,
Which in this poem had no real meaning.
Since I’m talk of leaving lines out
The repeat of the line is useless also
There’s nothing particularly haunting about it or anything else to make it repeat.
By now you are saying wow he really is tearing this up,
Not really, I like the poem if you just leave the last two lines off.

I must confess I like the title. I agree with the professor that the repeated line should be dropped. I would however keep the line Cellophane Girl and expand upon it. Describe for me this transparent person. Is she two dimensional? I really would like to know. Excellent start. I hope to see a revised version of this piece. I want to read more!

Remember, if you're not part of the future, you're history!
