Dark Secrets

by Megann Lee   Oct 28, 2006


What a disaster this has become.
Something simple, spun out of control.
Fixed beyond her grasps, she can do nothing.
Watch her world crash at her feet.

When will someone notice nothing is "OK"
When she says it is. Her lies are breaking.
Tearing at her every moment she breathes.
Spinning around and around, she is broken.

You don't know the pain she inflicts.
Casually killing herself slowly.
As if to make no one notice what is wrong.
So simple, so complicated, dark lies lay.

    Interesting write, I like the word ussage, but it didn't seem to pull me in as much as your other poems have. This line stood out to me the most "Casually killing herself slowly." I liked your choice of word in casually.... No one would think of that word normaly to describe one's killing of themself. But you made a topic which to most is written so dramaticaly to seem like an everyday occurance. I Liked it 5/5

    I really like this. I think it's very deep, and has a lot of meaning. I can relate to it in my own way, and i think other people could too. It flows well and surveys plenty of emotion. Keep it up hun. =] 5/5
