I am gray like
Dirty washing up water
Or day old snow;
Used, dirty, unwanted am I.
I am pale like
Sun faded paintings
Or shed, unnecessary skin;
Damaged beyond repair am I.
I am transparant like
Unseen poisenous gas
Or an unnoticed window;
Invisible, unneeded am I.
I am blank like
An empty canvas
Or untouched clay
But no artist am I.

OMG this is really good. I expecially like the comparisons to yourself and everything unwanted, dirty, or unclean.
My fave lines are,
"I am blank like
An empty canvas
Or untouched clay
But no artist am I. "
i also like how at the end of your lines you write, AM I.
it is very creative and well understand when read, your ideas stand out and is easy to read. -
BEAUTIFUL BUT SAD
your words touch a heart string from deep inside
I am blank like An empty canvas Or untouched clay But no artist am I...Your words are not true for you are a master of artist of words

This is very good!!

Excellent
Firstly, have to say I absolutely loved the title of this one, really caught my attention, and thankyou for submitting a fresh piece of work, tis great knowing this is specific to the contest.
This is beautiful, I love the actual colours you've chosen, especially 'blank' and 'transparent'... it's really thinking outside the box. I loveed the comparisons my favourite being 'unnecessary skin'.... says so much.
Most people choosing this option haven't really stuck to what I asked for very well, but this is beautiful. Loved it. Thanks for entering and good luck =]
