All The Pretty Faces.

All The Pretty Faces.

Your mind runs faster than your mouth,
not keeping up with everything that's said-
ruining what could have been;
Keep the pace, darling; slow and steady.

The look in her eyes says " I got`chu."
With fear rushing about your blood stream,
you move, and move and move
until you're out of breath.

They beat at you like a bat's wings,
harder and faster, harder and faster.
The pain is outrageous, and you can't outrun it-
or in this case out fly it.

You're not fly enough for all the pretty faces.
You're ruining what could have been ,
You're falling so far behind the crowd,
and everything is rushing back to you-
the hopeless never win.

Any idea on the genre? - I have no clue.

    To answer the question at the end, I must admit no idea as to a genre whatsoever. To a point there are times where I begin to get lost as to what the idea behind the words is and then I pick it up again. This poem is interesting to me because when I read it I know what the idea is and what the words mean, but if asked to describe it I couldn't. Haunting in a way. Very nice write. 5/5

    Greatly written piece, very deep.
    Every stanza is so effective, I like the message that you portrayed here. Whole piece is unique and it has vivid descriptions. I like the ending stanza it adds great effect to the whole poem.
    Very captivating, from the beginning to the end. The flow is flawless, too.

    This poem has left me with a little lack of understanding, which is actually a feeling I really enjoy. It was simple but still obviously full of depth. Excellent work
