i was described as a cutthroat, sarcastic and intrepid;
reminding others of what you perceive yourself as will cause them to believe it;
but when you tell them how you really feel, they'll never adapt with a liar.

join the bandwagon of failures and look up at the stars
they'll cascade into your skin,
gnawing through your bones, but you can't scream;
it's something no one should go through, but life has to be interesting.

can you teach me how to feel?
i am crafted of porcelain and cyanide,
infused with remorse;

why won't anyone believe me when i say,
"i need you"?


i have taught virgins how to expose
every last remnant of their innocence,
only because they complain of their loneliness;

"tell him that you'd die for him,
and never leave.
don't refuse when he asks you your secrets;
he wants to know who you really are.
and don't cheat.
stay fragile,
he'll take you in and love you forever.
you should do the same, rather than be indolent;
boys like ride or die bitches.
girls like danger.


perfect pairing."

i am no longer a maiden buried in the snow;
i resemble a plumeria drowned in black,
twiddled with by your fingertips;
you are mnemonic.

you made me remember that i promised to never betray you,
so therefore,
i'm staying.

let them riot.
Confidence vs. Innocence

You are supposed to jump from the left side to the right side, in other words.
Anyways, hope you liked it! That took hours to write >.<

March 18, 2015 Critic 2-8 for :iconWriters—club:
After a holiday, I again take up my poison pen. As is my custom I comment where others won’t, one hundred words or more to the unwatched and underappreciated. If you feel I have done right by this work, go out and do the same for someone else.
Critic: Magnolias by <img class="avatar" src="a.deviantart.net/avatars/d/a/d…" alt=":iconskullhips:" title="DalekCaanII" /> Confidence vs. Innocence
Vision: Excellent concept, Confidence vs. Innocence, the two intertwined and talking to each other.
Originality: I have read a works like this before, but the expression of pain is unique to this pome. The duality of one mind teetering back and forth… very refreshing
Technique: Every time I see this conversational style, I think I want to copy it. Then I remember how difficult it is. This is grate work, makes for both a visual and intellectual feast, both mind and eye.
Impact: Emotional impact is both warm and cold, sliding back and forth between… I want to say opposing views but they actually are not in opposition, they complement each other, saying the same thing, on a personally positive and negative perspective, at the same time. This, expressing the abuse of lovers for each other, especially the despair of a woman scorned.
