Ink. . . Pain. . .

by holly   Jun 19, 2006


Ink spills, a black stain forms
on a once white page
like pain stains
a once perfect life.

The White page has changed
It's purity is gone
and some may say,
it's beauty lost.

Then in walks the artist,
a pen in hand
changes that spot,
into a work of art.
Now people pay millions to see this page

Just as this spot
may seem to ruin a a pure and beautiful page
A little bit of pain
may seem to ruin a once pure and beautiful life.

A little imperfection,
it can make you who you are
it can make you something special.

Pain, like ink can
change something pretty
into something magnificent.

As ink can make a pure,
but in retrospect boring,
white paper into a beautiful, artistic creation.
Pain helps you grow.
It can change an innocent but naive child
into a magnificent human being.

So if pain gets you down,
remember the ink
and the beauty that came,
of a seemingly fateful stain.

    Wow this is such a great poem, it really tells a great, original story.

    "Pain helps you grow.
    It can change an innocent but naive child
    into a magnificent human being."

    It's good, but too obvious. What I mean by that, is I think the concept would have been pulled off better if you talked mainly about the ink and paper, and didn't constantly compare to real life. The first three stanzas I was thinking about the comparison to pain and ink, so I really didn't need it pointed out to me.

    Saying that, the idea what good, and I would have never thought of it myself.

    "and the beauty that came,
    of a seemingly fateful stain"

    A very good ending there. I really liked the way you did round it up. Good work. x
