(cutting)




I sit alone
in front of
my broken mirror
with the glass all over the floor
as I pick up a sharp piece of glass
and start to cut myself
the dark room closes in
and my vines hang out
as I die slowly in my pain and blood.

    Um.
    Is it a poem or a just random rant?

    Good but you need line breaks. Right now it doesn't look like a poem, just something descriptive that you would say out loud, or like a part of a short story. Paragraph form isn't the most aesthetically pleasing form of poetry. Love the pain expressed, even if not meant at literal (seeing ur still alive) but symbolically i like the idea of dying and coming back or part of you dying and you as a whole moving on. good job.

    a good poem, but I think it would be better with stanza breaks and stuff, other wise a good poem.

    Brutally vivid and powerful. I didn't really care for the way this was set out - perhaps line breaks would give a more attractive result. And did you mean 'vines' or 'veins'?

    Hmm... I was expecting a little more words and a little less cliche... Thank you for entering my contest.

    Mmmkay...

    So, your "vines hang out as [you] die slowly in [your] pain and blood"? Are you a jungle?!
    And why don't you just get the job done with the shards of your broken heart?

    see this is good, but for me it kind of lacks something more, it have the emotion and the feel, but you know something is just missing, you did a great job, keep it flowing and good luck in the contest

    excellent poem, it nicely suits 2 options actually, but i liked how it was combined flawlessly, i thought it could use some stanzas but its also nice the way it is, this was a nice emotional drawn write, it was a nice descriptive poem aswell, i could picture that actually happening, i dont have much else to say about this but, thanks for entering and good luck in the contest
    keep writing

    Your poems always leave me so sad and worried. This certainly gives me a dark feeling that is sad and full of imagery. Your line certainly fits the picture...Quite depressing and hopeless at that.

    Good luck in the contest!

    its only a sentance, but its a hard hitting one.

    I can relate to this in a way, but not so graphic.
