Quick and fast
It was plastic to
begin with
she isn't as
sunny and happy
as her photo portrays.
She lives in the room
just above the
warm and cozy
exterior...
She thinks about
the past
and revels in it.
Once upon a time
there was a girl,
who was happy
who danced in the hallways
and shouted
greetings
that were genuine.
Then...
when the sun and moon aligned
she took the blade
and sliced her skin.
She bled crimson
and the pain
was exquiste...
but no one understood.
No one understood
her pain and frusturation;
with the world,
with life
with her own musings
that scared her to death.
She wanted to be loved,
so she searched,
and found it in all the wrong places.
Bruises fade
but the memory is still there.
The memory that
She. is. not. good. enough.
She can't hold down a job,
she doesn't want to make friends,
just hold on to the ones she's got...
or the ones she thought she had.
People move fast,
it's like fast forward times ten.
She's stuck in slow motion
and everyone wins that race...
but what's their prize?
She still doesn't know.
So she curls up,
weeping silently on her pillow,
not comforted at all.
Please tell me what you think

I know this feeling all too well and the way you put a . between each ephasise the idea greatly. That was genious and yet it's so sad how you much feel and I wish and hope that all this is just a muse...now the lines that follow after that...that whole bit about not wanting to make any but not lose friends that you have already atm is the one that really got my attention. I'm this way exacty and it's sad but I try and it's just not something that will easily happen until I find the strength to go out and deal with meeting new faces and being judged over and over again...I hate when people do that. It's so depressing and I know I've done it to so many without even realizing it and that hurts even more...people just suck including me
Your right people do move far too fast...changing and developing into something completely different and its' scary.
I really want to comfort you atm right this minute!!!

Hope you can come to a standstill in a happy place where you don't have to search for love, because it comes, real and tender - and exciting of course, to you

The emotion in here is great..the imagery and interweaving of the rhyme is a plus that you can catch beautifully...really lovin' ya style

Very well written, and extremely emotional.
"People move fast,

i loved that part. Everyone can relate to that feeling, eh?

An explanation...almost understandable...of an emo's pain...

This has nothing to do with 'emo'

oh....
Then...
when the sun and moon aligned
she took the blade
and sliced her skin.
She bled crimson
and the pain
was exquiste...

just because a poem mentions cutting doesn't mean they're " emo "
-
This is a snapshot of my life.
