I like to think so.

That would be Blindproject - he/she has lived quite a cookie cutter life and can't really understand - or appreciate - poetry that leans towards the darker side.

Don't worry - there will be plenty more gore to come .. I can't refrain from writing of those things for long.

well i'd appreciate it if you wouldn't use it - sorry
and yeah, you're right. i just noticed the missing word - "know"

Ah, but to Blindproject it most certainly is .. you must see things from his/her point of view. Apparently they have never been exposed to this kind of writing - so they found it 'weird'.

All right, thanks for the tips, I'll take them into consideration.

Well since my life is of no concern to you - don't wonder. I highly doubt that the thought of removing ones tongue was on the mind of any child at Columbine, not sure what that has to do with the poem, but ok. Also, I never said it was a joke. I take all of my poetry very seriously. And maybe the children at Columbine were thinking something like 'I'm never going to see my family again'. Of course, that is 'freeky weird stuff' right? Maybe not ..

no need for apologies - any desire to offer reasons for why it is bad?

oh dear. it really does seem that no one understands the poem. listen sweetness, i'm not a tormented child, nor am i on the brink of insanity. i simply like my poetry a bit more .. daring. i don't particularly care for slipknot or marilyn manson, sorry for not following your little sterotypes. the line 'they just laughed' wasn't referring to "jocks" or "pretty girls". it referred to my friends - they would see such an act as something funny - as would i. so please before you make an attempt to analyze me and my poetry - get a grip - not all 'weird' poetry is written by a manic depressive 'freak'.

rather good news, don't you think?

Yes, yours.

A little too much for your sheltered mind?
