pretty much all of my poetry is...depressing... but that's just how my mind functions.. Sorry! *sweat drop* ... haha this poem is no exception. if you don't get the things i write i'll understand. but just for referance this poem (like all of them have too much sybolism for my own good) it a poem on frustration with my own failure. eh... enjoy! ^^"

Manikin

Is it over?
Has my heart stopped?
Without a pulse is my value cropped?
The more eyes I look through, the more blurry my vision seems.
Am I null of worth the less my self esteem?
If I cry will things become more clear?
Every day I’ll look in the mirror.
But before me is a faceless doll.
She laughs and says,
“Feed me emotion, paint me a face!
You’re and artist……and I’m you disgrace!”
I stumble backwards, and blink to see
To the empty shell doll:
That disgrace is me!
Without sockets, I cannot have eyes.
And I know, no matter how much I wish it all just a lie…
My vision will continue to fade with each passing day.
In my useless tears I wade.
And I’ll never find my pleasant bay.
Is it over? Has my heart stopped?
Where are these tears coming from?
That continue to drop.
Feed me emotion,
paint me a face.
wake up this manikin from her translucent gaze.
