i wrote this just now so it's not very good so please critisize away..

i was born into the pack
just to prove you wrong
i swallow my umbillical cord
now it's possible to die

i bleed on your pearl white eyes
it soaks into the vision
there's too many lies to ignore
there's not enough death to control you

to be ashamed is to follow suit
join the robots in the systematic decline
my eyes are a dagger
my blood is a poison
drink me down and retreat from the light

i take one final lasting breath
to see if i really hurt you
we walk through life not knowing each other
yet you programmed me to self-destruct
and there's no one you can trust

Now night arrives with her purple legions
Retire now to your tents & to your dreams
Tomorrow we enter the town of my birth
I want to be ready. - JM

I liked this one.  It conjured up images and memories from the experiences I've had when not following the crowd.  At least that's what my interpretation of the poem was.

It's a vivid piece and detainly well written and sometimes true.Frued would have a ball with this thought.

Be well

but it is the loss that shapes the image,
gathers the flowers weaves the garland."-

hello anomaly, yes I have decided to branch out of teen poetry #3. I have a Prose posted up in that prose place and now i think i'll rest my body here in the dark passions for a while. The poem, once again, titulates my mind into utter pleasure. hahaha you know i liked it. Keep posting. Oh and by the way, you shoulda told me you had poems up in this house. I woulda came sooner!



I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.
