Pencil

by Romancing the Darker Side   Jan 24, 2007


It is round,
yellow,
sharp.
She lowers it to the paper
to express her pain.
It is now dull.
She feels like the pencil,
in a way,
because so many people use her,
abuse her,
so she sharpens herself up,
and waits to disappear
into an endless trail of writing,
fighting,
and ultimately life.

    I loved it,
    great comparision.
    who ever thought you
    could be like a pencil.
    Amazing.

    The flow was off
    I felt like it needed more structure
    the emotion was almost there
    the idea was really good
    loved the metaphors
    nice work
    4/5
