Ethereal differences,
specks of delusion,
underneath, we are not
so different.
beneath it all
we feel and live the same.
but it is not to be.
encryptions of darkness
etched into our skin.
rejection,
reclusion.
Solitude.
Empty passageways lead
to hardened souls.
cavefish cannot stand the light,
the darkness is what we know,
hollowed out fantasies.
paperthin walls protect us
from the truth.
That we are not alone.
Just lonely.
......Fuck it all........
Author notes
Ah, Kerri.
i really can't explain this one, i used the poem, but
like most of my recent stuff it became shit.
rather drastically.
i will not be offended at all if you DQ it!!
By the way, its Arbitrarymediocrity.
*edit* Shit, you said 50 words and not 50 lines didn't you??
I lose....

Perfect day for Bananafish eh?
Not a bad write it has a viceral feel to it, but I would say that in terms of contents the style it is somewhat commonplace, and it would do well to differentiate between you and the status quo. I hope you do, because, you definitely have potential. It is a large step from potency to act, and I know it takes discipline. But I trust that you will.

Thank You.
And yes, i know. I really don't have any talent at all, i'll admit. My topics are similar to most, my word choice is poor, and my style and flow is pretty shitty and overused. But i'm not trying to be great, and i only put about 1/8 of my stuff on here, so i don't really care.

Dearest friend, arbitrary...
I do love this poem. I love everything about it. But I cannot be unfair to others who worked hard on the specific contest requirements.
Your poem is flawless, indeed.
I will not award you a trophy, but let you know that you are a very talented writer, and that I wish to see you in my next contest, running for the best poet of 2007 on ap.
Thank you for entering, please, do not take it the wrong way. This is fantastic. Till next time my friend. ~ Kerri
