  • I haven't written in so long, I forced myself to write something. Results:

     

    like a poison my body instinctively rejects,
    thoughts of you surge seeking expulsion,
    resisting my desperate attempts to swallow and stomach the bitter mix
    of bile and reality

    survival is hard, it is pain and struggle's father and child.
    survival is the reward and punishment

    these days, I've been dreaming of beauty without vanity,
    but such a concept is planar, one dimensional,
    for light without shadow eliminates depth.
    beauty without vanity is too simple, too inanimate,
    so why do I dream of it and punish myself for what still exists?
    I pity vanity--misunderstood and underappreciated, and
    vanity returns the favor, finding me blind to that which I can feel the absence of,
    torn by illusion and truth alike

  • interesting concepts

  • It flows despite the fact you feel you had to force it out. It's beautifully written, and the concept is intriguing as hell.

  • Vanity is a cruel double-sided mirror that only we can see other side of ourselves. Most of the time that person is a pathetic hypocrite.

  • Definitely a thought provoker and strong analogies woven within.  Vanity has such negative connotations, however.  Makes me wonder if it could be easier to swallow if you twisted the concept slightly by substituting for the word 'vanity' once or twice resulting in the expansion of the concept that I think you mean.  Just a thought.
