With her music blaring. The deftones and Godsmack ring through out the air. The spray cans littered across the covered hardwood floor. The dull shaking of the room from the bass of the music. The intoxiting smell of spray paint she had come to love. It was all that represented her. She felt safe while graffiting her room. Block, spray,block, spray, block over and over again a pattern , a rythm which she used so nothing would drip. What did she care, if her parents disapproved of her. Their archtectual digest house was so fake so impersonal. A prison. She needed to experess herself but her parents wouldnt ever let her do that, no.. she had to be fake, a phony just tlike them. The art of graffiti, swirls through her veins although she knows its only a matter of time before someone comes along with her mother and repaints her walls Standing in the middle of the room, noticing all her tags and designs,she feels proud this is her no matter what they say Nirvana starts to play "smells like teen spirit" that is exaclty what it is her spirit...

We all have the need to express ourselves, and seems like there is always someone coming along with a can of paint to hide it. Great vibes from this one, Regina. Thanks for posting.

Ina: I can totally feel what the emotion in this poem like it is looking into a mirror for me. Breaking free against things that appear right is sometimes only the way to truely free yourself. Fantastic Work. ~AF~ "Poetry is the language in which man explores his own amazement." Christopher Fry |

Great thoughts here, I like the way this is done, it's really good! Just think, if they paint over it, you have another chance to leave you mark on the walls!< !signature--> "Disagreements stimulate thought, thought stimulates action, and action stimulates life." --Lakewalker http://www.thehungersite.com [This message has been edited by Lakewalker (edited 01-04-2001).] |

Graffiti is perhaps the most powerful form of art, because it is so universally disapproved of! People frown on it before even reading it, so only those truly deserving can even get the message! By the way, you have good taste in music! ^_^ |

Nice work. You can tell that YOU are truly behind this one. It shares your true feelings. Very impressive poem. Jon "Your anger is a gift"-Rage Against The Machine |
