hi. i'd just like to open this with YOUR ALL VERY TALENTED. TO THE EXTREEM. i'm fifteen yo from australia. the topics pretty personal. heres a few lame attemps, pleases reply: 1.The beast is back living internal Its feet pushing, are the knots of bone protruding in my lower back knots point down Its smile is the cave in the hips its thirst quenched in my tears and its heart is in the shriveled stomach the beat fortifys with every replayed sit-up Its amusment is my axiety of rest and slaving famished to it is the pleasure the ejecting rib, those are the fingers clasping the clenched soul It breeths through my chilled skin its eye is my brain magnifying, till imperfections created can be amplified in my dreams and wails for its own voice The blotchy bruises are its arteries it kicks and screams and thrives with every attack of insanity and the dark sunken eyes are its wicked gapping mouth the devils horns forcing cheekbones to protrude this is the beast its growling and growing look and see it the beast is back and its swallowing me whole ================ 2.Bullets are bitten and spew forth the syrip a cackle is borrowed to skew the coughs a bass in a ribbed cage cnverges daft and even mammed in space it's extorted t hell a cliff in the hanger spins above the flanks and fibs for an escort to cease ====================== 3.Hollow aches of a concave of hips the paper skin is peeling from a life that seemed so vast Now pegged upon her crusafix, by the demon of mind eyes its pangs with volume deap into the lowly black The sickly spines of loathing continues longly down a back of a void and possessed creature that i must call myself |

To say that you're poem was lame is a travesty in the face of fine writing. I have just joined here and yours is the first poem I have read. I find the depth of quality quite daunting especially from someone who believes their poetry is bad. I hope that you will keep it up. |

It indeed is a travesty too say your poem is lame, shell-grunge. This was painfully vivid and made me cringe at the horror of the disease. Do keep up your writing, you have phenomenal talent. *Krista Knutson* ~*Like a lion, without fear of the howling pack, Like a gust of wind, ne'er trapped in a snare, Like a lotus blossom, ne'er sprinkled by water, Let me, like a unicorn, in solitude roam.*~ Hymn Of Buddha |

That was far from bad writing. This poem is truly something you should be proud of. You really gave me an idea of what anorexia would be like for someone. Good luck and keep up the good work! |

Wow....you portrayed it so well, the images were terrific, and very accurate I'm sure. And welcome ![]() ~What if you slept? What if, in your sleep, you dreamed? And in your dream, you went to heaven and there plucked a strange and beautiful flower? And what if, when you awoke, you had that flower in your hand? Aye, what then?~ |
