    I liked this!!! I think I got the right message, but correct me if I'm wrong... You're trying to break into a new shell, but you can't because the painful obstcales keep getting in your way? Well anyway I loved how you put it! 5/5!

    Im not quite shore what the hidden message was, But has it got something to do with rape? Anyways, This is a great poem, I like poems that try to have a hidden message in it, Even though i could be wrong about it, But keep up the good work =]

    This is beyond words! I don't even know where to begin. I've never read anything like this, it is absolutely brilliant.
    Never in my life would I have thought to write something even close to this, it's just....WOW! I'm at a loss for words.
    Take care and keep it up~Holly

    I thought this is really interesting but in a very good way! I love the title and the words are so real. The images so fresh and new and exciting! This is what it means to me and please correct me if i'm wrong: its about you not only speaking for your self but speaking on behalf of mankind. That like the orange we are so sweet, yet so sour, we all try to be good, inviting and bright but we all have a dark side. You are trying to dig beneath the surface, to look for this sourness as we all should but it isn't easy as some of us(like oranges) are more sour than others. The darkside of human nature is what differs us from all other creatures.(sorry if this is completely wrong but its what I got)

    Well Done
    All the Best

    This is an interesting peice, don't think i get the hiden message right at all though.... I do really like some of the interpretations that other people have come up with and can see how they came to these. It's great how a single peice can have so many meanings, a great peice of writting on that front. Personally i read it as been about something which is not how it forst appears, a first impression that was wrong or maybe miss-interpretation of a persons motives... think i proabally got it wrong though.

    great peice.

    5/5

    I just want to thank everyone for commenting and telling me what it meant to you. The reason I am commenting on my own work is to say firstly, WHAT EVER YOUR INTERPRETATION IS, IT IS NOT WRONG. JUST BECAUSE IT IS DIFFERENT TO SOMEONE ELSE'S, DOESN'T MAKE IT WRONG. YOU INTERPRETED IT DIFFERENTLY BECAUSE YOU ARE DIFFERENT, AND INDIVIDUAL TO THE PERSON READING BEFORE YOU.
    Secondly, I wanted to let you know what my interpretation as the writer is.
    The orange symbolises the heart. The juice squirting uncontrolably and backfiring (so to speak) into my eye represents emotions being set free in the direction of a lover, only for it to be rejected, leaving me heartbroken. The juice squirting into my eye, is also meant to symbolise crying...yes?
    Anyway that's what it means to me. I hope other people can see that too, other wise it may mean I'm not that good of a writer.

    Thanks for reading,
    Silver.

    Extremely nice imagery. That's the thing that I love about poetry, everyone interprets them a little differently. GOOD WORK!!!

    I would like to say i really enjoyed this poem. and i think each person's interpretation depends on what is happening in their lives at that moment. for me i have just broken up with my boyfriend.
    i found this meaning in it....
    seemed to me that it was about an orgasm with the perfect partner....the kind of orgasm that opens your soul for scrutiny and puts a show of emotions across your face. and then i imagined that the same thing was not happening with the "perfect partner"... ultimately found out the partner was not so perfect afterall therefore the perfect orgasm was forever tainted.
    lol i might be a lil crazy but i am fervent hehe.

    I will not say what it means to me, only that it took me near tears. you have a great way with symbolism. I loved it. inturpriting all of the lines would take me a while, but on the first read it was quite well written, its diffrent, and impressive for just a poem site. Thanks for the read!

    This poem is by far the most unique Ive read. The comparison with the orange peel is put in great use and I think you did a very awsome job.

    Wow! The imagery used is perfection :) It really does capture the imagination of the reader - well done! There are many interpretations I made from your poem, some are even already listed! But all my interpretations were sad - perhaps it's just me - I hope everything is ok xXx.

    Peace. [Sole]

    The imagery was really good and yes it does capture the imagination. I've read some people's interpretations on it. The ones I thought of though when I first read the poem were well....my own "secrets" But it took me a while to read and by the time I was done rereading all I could picture now is well an orange. That and well what I thought it meant to me anyway. I liked the title. It tied in well.

    This is brilliant. I would have to agree with your interpretation. It's funny because I got the idea a couple of days ago to try to bring together things that I thought have the nothing in common and make a poem out of it and see what people get out of it. Very nice you are extremely talented

    This is a truly amazing poem. I love the way that you wrote it where everyone can relate to it and interpret in their own way. You had such great imagery and word usage in this and it really kept my attention. Great job on this. I really liked it.
