Hi!
I don't know if ther's already a thread about this, but I know you all are very creative and artistic, and I know some of you write poems.
Well, basicly her's where you post your poems (or someone else's) and hope your friends could give you comments about them.

I'll srart then. This is a poem I wrote a while ago and I really wanted to shear it with someone. I had to translate it from hebrew though, so it might not sound as good.

Self Portrait
--------------
You,
look in the miror
you see you didn't shave this morning, you
see the eyes
that refuses to open.
a dream is forgotten
something inside of you tells you
to look at you again.
a coulpe of hopes you once had,
drown with the teeth-brushing water
making it's way in the sewage's maze.

You stop watching.
after all, you
know what your face look like.
you know each wrinkle and each scar
and you can tell the story of
each one and one.
the thoughts are running within you
and you
shake them, wipe them, depart of them.

You are alive.
nothing more.

I remember my first cry, the air forming a silent sigh, how I'd lock up my pain inside, and knew, that's life and that's what I'm gonna' do. But then I met you, a smile crossed my face, I felt something different as my heart began to race. I opened up and let you in, thinking I could trust you, the voice whispered from within, But when I turned my back, two other girls were involved, the game had begun, with the lies that you had told. And slowly but surely, we all found out, my mind began spinning, my world burned out, You cried and you cried, each sentence you apologised, but it was too late, almost as if fate, had called upon my door, and smacked me in the face, But no matter what I suceeded, to pull myself through, I wasn't going to let, a guy like you, Make me feel so small inside, and though I'll keep my feelings locked up, I've learn to not be so abrupt, so now that I'm fine, I'll no longer look back and sigh on old times. HA! Such an emotional girl given a few years back. That was long ago, pulled out from an old scrapbook, but hey, not a bad poem I guess.

5 posts	ok this is a poem i wrote about winter- i posted it in another topic but all i got were bitchy remarks for no reason. i was hoping someone could give me back some legit feedback on it, thanks. Killing every adventure Killing every outfit The homeless Killing My shallow charm, dead Beauty dead Decomposing flowers Decomposing happiness The beating wind Punches my heart until it vomits up a pool of alphabet soup Spelling out every word The words that stand out The words that build the thoughts The thoughts that make me hate myself The winter The winter in myself Every urge frozen over Every chance an icicle of death

But each and every night, I remember what I'd forgot. I try to be different, I try not to care. I tell myself you're distant, But you're still here. I can't describe to you the pain You put me through. I thought I was sane, Now I'm like you. It felt like 100 pounds, No, like a thousand. It felt like I hit the ground, No, like drownin'. Once bitten, twice shy. That's what they say. I felt my heart die, And you paved the way. You were my world, My happy place too. When I'd see a girl, I'd only see you. Now everything's different, My hearts like steel. I'll never let anyone in it, But let's be real. Because history tells The truth about Sam. Love is like his spell, It's like a dog to ham. I shed blood for you, Two weeks straight in the summer. I told you too, And all you said was "bumber". It's like you didn't care What I'd do for you, I thought what we had was rare, I now know it wasn't true
