You think you know who
I am, familiar
with all of my
flaws and
quirks that reside in
my exterior.
You think you can
read me so well,
that if my soul
was your bestselling
paperback novel,
then the pages
would be heavily
dogeared at the
corners and wearing
out with use.
However, in reality,
I am that paperback book, without the
dog-eared pages,an overlooked
but barely intact novel
on the outside, containing worn
and yellow pages that are
threatening to
let go from
the spine of
the book.
But, you continue to
be so oblivious.
Your mind continues to swirl
with a poisonous
fallacy that my beauty
in your eyes is real,
without the artificial traits.
Well the girl, the face
you are so familiar with
swirls down the drain
each night,
revealing all of my
grosteque flaws
behind your
unspuspecting
back.
I don't want to hide
the exterior of who I am,
but I have no other choice.
So, I will never be
able to lay my head
on your warm chest
and memorize
the slow, but
steady rhytmn of your
heartbeat,
beacuse I cannot bear
to see the flame
your eyes die
down to a
dim spark,
when the beautiful girl
you know rubs off
and sinks
into the softness of your
white tee.
What are your comments and/or critique for my poem?

Reply:The middle east is birthplace of the worlds major religions and earliest civilizations.
Reply:I honestly do not care for the ending. It seems there must be a few more lines to take it up a notch.
Reply:It's lovely.
Except the ending lacks the creativity of your other stanzas (or whatever you call those breaks in the poems?)
when the beautiful girl
you know rubs off
and sinks
into the softness of your
white tee.
^^
i think you should come up with something else.
but all in all, it's a really great poem.
Reply:The subject matter is overused by teenagers, and some of your metaphores, while good, don't quite flow with the text. But it's a good start.
