Porcelain DollI stared at myself in the looking glass—
There was no emotion: my face was like wax.
The longer I looked the more unnerving it became,
Every second that passed my blank eyes were the same.

Perfect little doll, a frozen and lovely waste
With a painted smile and a pretty face.
But what is the point of something so fake?
All at once terror filled me and I started to shake.

I smashed the mirror and watched the shards fall
Just to get away from the false image of that china-glass doll.
My hands were bleeding from a thousand cuts, the glass imbedded in.
I started to laugh; they were just a thousand glass-cracks on my pale doll-skin.

AcquaintanceBeauty makes life sufferable
The only beauty I can hold is fantasy
My eyes are veiled with the shades of your skin
My dreams linger on you
Do you want them to?
Did you hear my music
passing by your ear?
Your song has sweetened my mind for so long,
I don't know what else to listen to

::Invisible:: We are not who we were before.

You are ignorant of my existance,
locked away in your newfound world.

Not smiling at me, like you used to.

And myself?

I am voiceless, unable to call your name.

I am broken, but you can't mend me.....

Not when I'm invisible.

Race Among Race'sRace Among Race's

Racism will always be a complex and hazardous topic.

It is something that is deeply implanted within our logic.

It may be expressed in the form of a humorous joke.

Or may be intentionally announced in order to provoke.

Because they know that it is guaranteed to get a reaction.

And we impulsively give them that much needed satisfaction.

Somehow we feel the need to defend our specified skin colour.

We fight fire with fire to defend our heritage with misguided honour.

That's why racism can never be vanquished or become extinct.

It is how the world works and even if we don't say it, we will always think

How the colour

Music in my soulIt's the music I now understand
Ignore it's message I now can't
I hear the music of the song
My mind hearing it along

The song begins, sounds play
The words in my mind still stay
Listen closely, listen good
The words finally understood

They come around, grab my soul
The words have reached their goal
My mind is depressed, I feel down
Upon my face an eternal frown

The sounds play with my heart
My moods always far apart
Sad now, happy a moment later
Both of each other the greater

Enjoy the music for the sound
It will make you jump around
Enjoy the music for the words
It's you soul it girds.

i guess it was just me I guess it was just me,
all those times I imagined.

When stars wrote your name,
I must have been dreaming.

Forgive my heart;
it can be wrong.

I fall asleep thinking of you
but in the end, I am alone.

RelapseI'm weak...yeah been this way for weeks
Every night I quietly weep...and been getting no sleep
And I reek...Of the blood that from these wrist always leak
The cuts always hurt..but only you could hurt me this deep

I try to cover this pain with an act..
A fake smile.. A laugh..
But every time I see you.. It feels like I have been smacked

And I hate..just seeing you..happy..unfazed
When I'm here hurting.. just..dying...and hiding the tears from my face
And you act..like what we had was nothing to you
Am I the only one who remembers.. everything we have been through

The pain constantly haunts my mind...
Its always followed by the im

My emotionsWhat do I feel?
I feel drained
Like all of my emotions have just vanished into thin air
No one can understand the way I feel
No one
Even if you say you do, you won't feel it like the way I do
Something inside of me is eating away all of my emotions
And I can only concentrate on the pain I feel
The only feeling I have apparently
Pain
An emotion everyone hates
Because they feel venerable
No one wants to feel venerable
This is why we fight through the pain
But I don't have the will to do it
Because I don't want to get rid of the only emotion I have

Beauty Exists In Dead Smiles

He smiles lovingly into her eyes.

He's never loved anyone else as much as her in the entire world.

She stares back unblinkingly at him.

He smiles, "You are so beautiful." He says before kissing her upon her pale lips.

He lifts up her body and proceeds to kiss her passionately.

He loves her. But she never got the chance to hear him say the words.

Time Gone PastIt seems the more and more we think
the further and further we stray off track
from what we really want from our life,
and what we truly lack.

We regard the sadness, and lay waste to joy
and string emotion as if a toy
as a metaphor unleashed for hate
shan't we stop before it's to late?

Perhaps it is,
perhaps it has been for quite sometime.
Perhaps we've lost what it means to be us.
Perhaps we've lost our simplicity and sublime.

The past love for each other exists no more,
no more than a myth or a legend of history.
No more can we consider ourselves different
in this galaxy full and full of mystery.

Why do we go for the things we're not supposed to?

             Why are we attracted to things our parents are opposed too?

                       Why can't we control the things we are unknowingly exposed too?

                              How come despite our best efforts, we can be fully composed to

1 way streetI'd do anything for you
Id crawl to the end of the earth for you
I'd take a bullet for you
All too just see you smile
Would you do the same?
Right now I feel like
Love is just a 1 way street

Why?If love hurts then why do we seek it?
If we break promises then why do we promise in the first place?
If hate is bad why do we carry it within ourselves?
If change is good why do we cling to the past?
If revenge is pointless why do we seek to carry it out?
If life is unfair why do we seek to change it?
If humans are smart then why do we fight?
If people die then why do we seek friends?
If what goes around comes around why do some people never get their retribution?
If people fight why do we seek peace?
When all is lost why do we so desperately cling to hope?
If we care why do we ignore the people that need us most?

Where Light is SwallowedI only step out when no one is coming home
The sun sets, and drags the veil from my eyes
I sink just below your searching lights

There is a heaven in this night
that evacuates my mind into the world around me
Where I'm going, there will be no stopping
I'll glance over my shoulder,
then I'll disappear

SurvivalHeart,
Pounding.
Blood,
Rushing.
Vision,
Blurring.

It's tough.

Survival,
Of the fittest.
Weakest link,
Goodbye.

A challenge.

Circling,
Like predators.
Growling,
Like animals.

You must prove yourself.

Claws,
Glinting in the sun.
Teeth,
Bared in defiance.

Protection of your pride.

You,
Finally clash.
It's a flurry,
Of swipes and kicks.

It's a fight to the death.

For what?
Pride?
Love?
Hatred?
Authority?

No,
You think.
Your last breaths leave both of your bodies,
And you laugh.

No. It's not for any of those things.
No... We just wanted excitement...
What better way,
To entertain?

A fight to the death.

Why am I still here? You don't control me.

Maybe everyone else
grovels at your feet,
but I don't.

I owe you nothing,
so why are you still here?

I am just a last resort
you are content to kick away.

You think you know me -
go ahead, use my fears.

They have long since faded,
much like yourself.

Maybe everyone else
adores you,
but I don't.

So why am I still here?

Taped Romance

_{If you stopped me,
here and now,
I'd tell you how
I want to rewind.

For us to be actors,
with a taped romance.
So what if it's corny?
At least it would be something.

To rewrite the script,
so that anything I ever said
or did to hurt you
would all be a dream.

I want to tell you
everything you mean to me
and how I couldn't bear to lose you
especially now.

But first,
we would have to meet.

And I don't think the script calls for that.}

_{Right now I really don't care what anybody thinks about this.

It's just sort of a writing for myself this time, trying to work things out.

I've just waited for so long, and.....:sigh:

I don't know anymore. And....the ending really is terrible, isn't it? I thought about redoing it, but then figured it would probably make it even worse. So.....don't think I'll change it, for now.

I can't say I'm proud, but at least I did something....

_{Oh, god, Kaity. What did you just do. Did you really just use "corny" in a poem? No. You couldn't have.
And yet, you did.}}

Thank you for submitting to the Critique Folder at

The informal tone of this piece is really suitable for the situation you portrayed here.

Using the word "corny" was an enjoyable addition in a way, since it views these romantic situations from a more realistic angle. Your concluding statement mentioning the script made for a strong and memorable end. My only suggestion would be to take a closer look at your forth stanza; it doesn't read quite as smoothly as your previous stanzas. Sometimes just a little tweaking with the words can help sort that out.

All in all, very good work!
