I Love Posting Personal Stuff;

Crash, like a socket let go.
The bulb kissed the ground for the very first time,
an aftermath so magical that it made the lights flee
through every open window.
Leaving me stranded,
vulnerable and naked in your eyes
as you bang me against the walls and drive nails
through my head for being so weak.
Pierce the corners of my lips
and make me admit that I am.
Me; Fragile like the glass that left me in shadows.
As your nails dig in I'll quiver,
but I wont break down.
Not tonight.
And I'll watch you medicate cotton
to plug in my wounds,
kiss them and heal my heart with your
most broken voiced lullaby's touching my ears.
Wet my neck and give a half orphan a corner
in the home of your eyes,
and the stories they hide.

    Mm... beautiful style. I read your post on the message boards about how it would be impossible to tell whether you were a man or a woman from your poetry. I'm glad you posted it, because it's true. Those things that we get taught about what is girl and what is boy don't matter.

    Anyways, I really enjoyed this poem. Everything about it was wonderful.

    I really loved this poem. For many reasons actually. First off, I absolutly loved the word choice in it because it you made it unique and original at the same time. It takes a special talent to pull something like that off. Second, I loved how in some parts I couldn't quite figure out specific parts. It makes the reader think a little.

    ^^Amazing opening. The best actually. It automatically draws the reader into your poetry which is a very good thing:)

    There is nothing for me to criticize on. I really liked it. Keep writing! 5/5

    Wow, that was...dark.

    I really loved all the descriptive words you used and the way you said it all. It sounded to me like a little kid who is scared but won't admit it. Just that same sense and feeling, I don't mean I imagined a little kid or anything.

    Overall, this was an awesome poem! Good Job!
