Artificial Waterfalls

by Jennifer RIP Lesthat Hayden   Sep 7, 2008


I want something artificial.
I want something that's not real,
so with all the freaking
complications I don't have to deal.

Bathed in lack of confidence
and force fed my own lies.
If a disorder was a costume piece,
well I'd have a full disguise.

I should have died a year ago.
I should have died today,
but I continue living on,
and with life I have no say.

Transfered to another world;
a world inside my head.
A place where all went wrong
and houses the dead.

I must find my misplaced comforts.
I must find a place to drain
this disgusting, black, sticky liquid
located inside of my brain.

I'm draped in guilty pleasures
with a red finger painted face.
Regretful waterfalls collide
leaving marks I can't erase.

    Interesting write, that kept me interested in what you were going to write next. This isn't usually the type of poem I'd read or write, but you did an excellent job at your descriptions, this piece held great depth. Good work, keep it up.

    Peace, Joe

    This is somewhat morbid but i liked it. there was once a time when similar words were stirring around in my mind. sometimes there are things in our lives that just stick. "marks that we just can't erase." but that doesn't mean that we can't move on from them and bring fourth a more positive outlook on life. you yourself as a human being are perfect as is, there's no need to be anything that you're not.

    "Bathed in lack of confidence

    are my favorite lines. i can relate to the lack of confidence reference. good job. 5/5

    Oh goodness. this was very disturbing to read. i hope you don't really think this. its so sad and very depressing to read. gah. very sad. well i truly hope you are okay, and you know im always here for you. i must say however, the title really captured my attention and lured me in here to read your poem. you are an amazing poet. no more depressive stuff, please. i love cutesy love poems. let me see that side again! =] this was good though, the word choice again blew me away completely. it adds a lot of meaning to the poem. well done 5/5
