fingers sore from these keyboards
and heart is sore from reading your words
theres nothing worse than the glowing truth
sent boldy through open cyberspace
the shock is mostly my moist face and furrowed brow
the hurt is mostly locked within myself
because this icon cares not if i scream and yell
if i rant and rave
if i throw my fists
if it fall to the floor
sleepless nights and wasted days because this world
is not accepting of my spontaneous feelings
crying in "our"deli
sauntering down "our" street
sleeping in "our" park
mind is drowning in cliche's
bodies curling up alone
not ready for the pain it takes to face the world without you
when that was all i knew
when there is nothing left
and i cannot run to you
so all i want
is to scream and yell
and rant and rave
and throw my fists
and fall to the floor
because this god damned icon doesn't care
i don't even know why you put it there to stare me in the face and break me down

I like this... it was... I don't really know, so I'm just gonna leave it as, I like it.

the "our" stanza is the only one I really like. There are flashes of brilliance else where, though, as in "the shock is mostly..." I need more of that. Lines like "I want to scream and shout" hold no information or emotional connection for me. So you want to scream and yell. What about it. Here is something I think we could all stand to remember: your poem is only as good as its worst line. If you can create a stanza like the "our" stanza, you can raise the rest of the poem to that level.

Might I say, I adore the last line.
I just really dig it.
I kind of agree with sar, on the point of the "our" stanza... I can see where your coming from General, but I think the poem would've been a much different one had it centered around an Idea such as that stanza represents... just my .02.
Also, sarafin, I take it you have some sort of messanger?
if you or anyones' bored...

funny that that is the only stanza that you liked, that is the one that i don't like. the one that feels like such a blaring cliche. i wasn't even sure if i was going to keep it in.
