in the night
through the dark
close your eyes
before you
see me
wake

i see your
thoughts
lying naked
on the ground
trying to grab at me
while i walk
away
in a frightened
daze

don't lock me up
or let me
go
i can feed you
or at least
i'll try

pick at my
crumbling skin
and tell me
i am
beautiful
(but only in a dream)
where is the
backdoor to
your lair?
i'm becoming
a horrid
scare

i wear this mask
to hide from you
and everything
if only i could
escape...
i would--
but everything is
gone
and my adore
has washed
away

you heard me
pass the door
you feel it in the
air
my pitiful notes
can comfort your
rotting desire
and feed to your
own sinking
stinking
oblivion

but only love me
if you know my name
i'm seeping
disease
because of you
in the end i always
lose and..
i try to hide
but this disintigrating
lust is pulling
and scraping
and screaming
and dying
to keep
me
tied down
to your
inside

i wear this mask
to hide from you
and everything
if only i could
escape...
i would--
but everything is
gone
and my adore
has washed
away

WOW!!!*Speechless* This poem really made me shake with fear and everlasting fright. Wonderfully done, and I do hope this poem is not based on true life. If so, and you need someone to talk to I am here for you as we all are I am sure. Just e-mail me if you are even in need for we truly are "friends within a family" And are always there for one another.

this simplistic form, yet complicated meaning really intrigued me
the whole mask thing was pure brilliance
sometimes i wish i could hide from someone so i wouldnt have to face them
i guess we all want an easy way out...
i really loved this one, reall meant a lot to me to read these words
thanks

This was really good anomaly. I liked it a lot. You put a lot of power into this one.



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 supports my opinion about teen#4
i've noticed recently that the quality of poems has gotten much better
you've outdone yourself with this one
much appreciated narration
