maybe you guys can take a look into a girl's world with this.... don't read it if you don't like reading poorly written things.

if i was pretty
somebody would want me
if i was beautiful
maybe they'd even love me
if i was pretty
somebody might hold me
but i'm ugly
and they all disown me

used up and broken down
always seen with a familiar frown
tied me up and tied me down
never seen without that fucking frown

things won't ever change
and i'll always look this way
i'll never amount to much more
than what you think and what you say

i let you into me
i let you in to see
the beauty

you tore me up, you tore me down
i'm never seen without this frown
could've picked me up
but you threw me down

if i was pretty
somebody would want me
if i was beautiful
maybe then they'd even love me
if i was pretty
somebody might hold me
but i'm ugly
and they all disown me

i'm carrying a sign that says "last resort"
carrying a sign that says "use me up"
carrying a sign that says "call me for a good time"
carrying a sign that says "REBOUND"

but my favorite sign is
the one that says i'm pretty
because i've always loved to lie
isn't that what makes us pretty?

you used me up and tore me down
just because i wasn't pretty
you don't notice when i'm not around
too busy with some one else
who's beautiful

sounds like you need someone to keep you warm and fill you up at night...

would you like my number?

Pliedes · 04-05-2004, 01:41 AM

Sounds like you're really needy.

underwater · 04-05-2004, 03:05 AM

haha. you are both asses. thanks for your input, although it... SUCKS.

Niger Angelus · 04-05-2004, 04:05 AM

Don't say that. It is your emotion on paper, you emotion is something and does mean something, don't forget that.

underwater · 04-05-2004, 04:42 PM

oh i meant that their input sucks, not my poem thing. i couldn't care less what they have to say about it if they're just going to be jerks.

Niger Angelus · 04-05-2004, 05:39 PM

Now I feel like Dr. Phil, but in Queer Eye version Hoe.Moe

I'm blizzzzzzzzzzzed.

underwater · 04-05-2004, 05:46 PM

what??????????????

Niger Angelus · 04-05-2004, 05:51 PM

Blazed. That too...

*very quickly says 'SEGA!!'

underwater · 04-05-2004, 05:53 PM

funny, i can see you actually saying that.

and that is what, fruit boy?

Orgazmo · 04-06-2004, 02:51 AM

Why don't you guys OST or something?

underwater · 04-06-2004, 03:05 AM

i am not quite sure what this "OST"ing junk is.

I wasn't trying to be a jerk. Don't ask for criticism if you can't handle it. Your poem makes you sound incredibly needy, end of story.

BarryJive · 04-06-2004, 04:31 AM

underwater - that was chalked full of sentimentality, try to avoid writing in 1st person. Otherwise it sounds like a pretty catchy song.

Alpha · 04-06-2004, 04:38 AM

I'd like and try to convince myself I'm better off.
I just don't have the time to do such things.
Discreet destruction will dry my tears,
Invest no hopes to look for me,
I'll fly through London Skies instead of here.

Niger Angelus · 04-06-2004, 04:46 AM

This may sound strange; but I like how he mentions London. The poem seems to have a dreery feel throughout it. It mentions tears, so may relate that to rain; however they are dry. The mentioning of London, to me, helps bring back a feeling of a dark rainy day.

St. Anky · 04-06-2004, 01:56 PM

Thats just typical American bullshit with all that generalizing...

Saint DH · 04-06-2004, 04:36 PM

God damn Anky, I really do wish I was enlightened as you were.

I'm so emo that I do cry.

Percipere'Chan · 04-06-2004, 07:00 PM

I'm so emo, I ran out of tears.

BarryJive · 04-06-2004, 07:40 PM

I'm so emo I just stabbed myself in the heart just so I have something to cry about. But I was careful not to get blood on my girl pants.
