Living Plastic

  Let me go inside

  your mind for just

  a second, little

  girl.

  I want to see how you

  are and how you

  live in this absurd

  world.

  I would like to swim

  around in a puddle of

  your thoughts.

  And understand why its

  so sweet when you kill

  them all.

  What are you doing?

  How are you living?

  Keep playing pretend.

  Try on dresses, put

 on a new face

  act different every day.

  Keep living plastic.

  Always be the innocent

  one.

  Never let them see how

  you are or they might

  hate you too. 

Author's Note

This is the first poem I have written in a while due to writer's block. Sorry it isn't that good.
(I will find a picture soon by the way)
Thank you for any reviews :)

Not bad at all! People do pretend to be someone, so the world won't hate them as much as they hate themselves.

[Patches I'm not so new..]

This is a decent poem however the given advice isn't. It is not right to suggest living a lie which is what the persona of the poem is doing. As I said though the poem itself is well done.

I think the words are worth way more than the piture....Awesome way to put it. Love your writing.~

"Living plastic..." A great way of describing it. We melt when we feel the heat, and we twist and conform to meet other people's expectations.

don't need a picture for this... so here comes a bigger question: What's living for in the first place?

[Kiri Nells]

Half expected to read something about nesting duplicates... (a little bit too much Doctor Who? Never...)
Anyway, I really appreciate the honesty in this poem. It's simple compared to a lot of poetry, and that's perfectly okay. Great job!

Nice!

Isn't that good! Did you just re read what you wrote cause, Girl, its that great. I love the imagery this brings to my mind, then again I'm a bit more twisted than most so I'm sure its not quite the images you were thinkin bout when you wrote this

A very nicely written and portrayed poem. I really liked the honest and true feel to this. Some people are living a plastic reality, but they think they're leading an honest life. A great piece. :)
