lost within my mind

0 posted 2001-04-11 06:06 PM


i look in the mirror
you are there,
we are happy
our mouths are smiles
and our eyes seem to sparkle
we dont even see the prblems.
emotions seem to play tricks like that...
were we every really happy?
but deep inside, they do not splarkle
they are pits of sand,
that cannot be conquered.
cannot be saved...
our hands unlock, and i shrink back
with each step my size decreases
soon, you dont even notice me
i sit,
as a long forgotton doll
in a long forgotted corner
helpless and alone, i sit here
with nothing to do,
but watch you
my life long gone,
but yours just beginning
so it seemed...
i see you start to slip
so young, so unknowing
you dont even see your foot leave the ground
but i did
i tried to call out,
but you didnt answer
i tried to catch you,
but you fell too fast
i tried to lift you up,
but you didnt even know you were down
so many times i watched you hurt
begging for a death that seemed to never come
begging for another life,
that you knew would be no better than the one you have
sitting in a corner, for all these years
i learned to keep my silence,
and never speak, unless spoken too
but it was so hard to watch you dig your own grave.
i bit my lip unitl i couldnt feel it
i tried to scream, but you didnt hear
i was so distant by now...
you grew, and seemed to be gettig up
but all of you wasnt coming, you forgot some behind,
just like you had once done to me
i learned to love my corner
alone and peacful
would i come back if you asked me?
nicely...
however, the other in the corner was more restless than i
she pulled you down,
just before you reached me
just before you were free again
this is until i realized,
i was still looking in the mirror...

Wow...okay this was really amazing. I loved the whole "doll" perspective, but the very ending was what really got to me...nice twist. GREAT job! And if this is based on a real-life situation, I hope you or your friend is okay!  
Keep writing - you're really talented.

  Very good. Spellcheck rules. I liked this a lot...depressing...*sigh* keep dat head facin the clouds, okay? Sometimes you just gotta, cuz it's billions of times prettier than some of the thoughts we have to deal with.

Pretty good job!  I think it all worked rather well.  
Perhaps you would consider trying to make it a bit more stanza-oriented?  It'd flow better that way.

Concieted??  Impossible!  That would be a fault!

I liked it....thought it was done well. Some spelling errors though..kinda stopped the flow....but nonetheless a wonderful job.

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

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

This is a good read, but I'd organize the lines a bit to my liking    But all in all, I did enjoy the read
