Fake

[oni flygon]

Just a little poem I wrote... also a song...

Well, it's the first time I've been writing a song so yeah.

Fake

A crowd dressed in black,
They wonder what they lack.
A blade stained red
With the crimson they shed.

White makeup, eyeliner and black lipstick;
They try to make themselves look sick.
Asking unimportant questions,
And sometimes self-inflictions.

A fool regretting his mistake;
Don?t they know they?re so fake?
Salty tears dripping from eyes
Caused by bittersweet feeling of their vice.

Finding the answer in the stars,
Won?t hide the feeling in your scars.
When you thought no one was there,
I was always trying to care.

A girl with red and black bands
Trying to hide the scars near her hands.
She waits for her true lover,
But she knows she can?t wait forever.

A boy falls in love
With a broken-wing?d dove.
He did his best to help and he tried
But the dove wished she had died.

So what do you guys think of it?

Your a poet and you know it.
Well, poems shouldn't always rhym, although the message is clear try and focus a little less on detail and a little more on emotion. Keep trying, it wasn't bad just not good.

Oh yeah loved the last stanza.

Thanks for reading! Gladly appreciate your comments!

But yeah... this is sorta semi-inspired from the song "Stay (Faraway, So Close!)" ... kind of an emotionless rant on society ... I wanted to copy that feel so it's more like an emotionless story telling... I don't really know if I captured that, though...

if you manage to get that into a song gotta post it up here XD
ah well, it was ok like all your other poems...the rythm's getting better though XD
