Her body aches but she does not flinch,
Not once has she stumbled,
She's as graceful as a swan,
She smiles and goes on,
Acting as if nothing bothers her.
Her eyes show pain but she does not cry,
No one sees the unshed tears,
No one was there to hear her silent screams,
No one saved her.
One bad turn is all it took,
She's lost her way,
Looking for her home.
She became the master of illusion;
Fooling everyone with fake expressions,
No one saw the hidden message beneath her words,
She won't give in,
She won't let that part of her be in control.
-11/11/11, The person this is about is anonymous.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She won't give in,
She knows it's wrong, disgusting,
She knows it's a disgrace,
She knows it all,
But she can't stop,
She won't stop.
She starves her inner child,
She won't let his cries be heard,
She puts on a tough face,
Closing her ears and opening her mind to the demon voices within.
She soaks up the venom,
The mirror shatters;
Along with her soul,
The images are shocking,
They scare her.
She battles the demon inside,
Always losing,
But never letting go of her grip,
She loses the war,
They become one.
- 10/28/11, the person this poem is about is anonymous.

Black Rose
So elegant and beautiful,
Nature's pride,
A symbol of romance,
It's sharp thorns leave scars,
It starts to wrinkle up,
And in a week;
It'll be gone.
-2/14/11 A short poem I wrote about black roses. No, i'm not depressed or anything. I just have a thing for poetry and roses.

Some say the world will end in Fire,
Some say in Ice,
From what I've tasted of desire,
I hold with those who favor Fire,
But if I had to Perish twice,
I think I know enough of Hate,
To say for Destruction Ice is also Great,
And would Suffice.

Hey again, Sugarcake10! Thanks for posting in the Creative Realm!
I moved your work from the Writing subforum to the Poetry one, just so you're aware, and not confused and such.
I'm liking your works, here. Listening to "After All That, It's Come to This" by Amos the Transparent while reading the first two makes the words just almost unbearable to read. Also! I kinda thought of Black Swan, and imagined someone dancing on stage, in pain, but still going on with the dance - worried to see one laughing look from the audience.
Powerful, moving stuff. Please, keep posting!

Okay, I have just got to say, out of the trio of poems here, that middle one hits me hardest. And not only because, now that I read it over, it sounds like something a character of mine might think/write (don't mean to be self-centred or anything by pointing that out, just a comment XD). The last stanza -
She battles the demon inside,
Always losing,
But never letting go of her grip,
She loses the war
- was my favourite. Now I see that it's a personal poem (or at least, personal for someone, since it's written with someone in specific in mind), but I thought there could have been a better ending than 'They become one' (and this is purely from a lyrical/writing standpoint, not from an emotional standpoint or concerning the meaning of the poem). Since the stanza starts out saying she loses to her inner demons but never releases her grip, I would think it would be good to follow up 'she loses the war' with something similar to that--or maybe a more ominous note. Like 'she loses the war/but the war never ends'...phrasing it possibly more eloquently than I can think to do for a quick comment XD This is just me speaking from the standpoint of an impartial reader, however. As the writer you clearly set out with a specific person, experience, feelings in mind, and therefore regardless of what it may seem from a reader's standpoint, what matters is that you as the writer feel you have captured the feelings you set out to capture in those words. It seems to me you did.

Vice: Thank You(: I love that movie.
Painkiller: It is written about someone personal.(: Thanks! The "They become one" part means that the old her has faded, she got sucked into her demons. At least, this is what it means for me. Each poem sends a different message through every mind, (: Thanks for reading.
