dont got a title yet
 
She listens and doesnt say a word
She speaks and hardly listens
She wanders around aimlessly
She is meant to have a purpose
She locks her secrets deep inside
She is as open as a book
She wants to scream, but just crys
She gets all the attention twenty-four seven

She looks in the mirror and sees two
When she looks in the mirror, she sees two too

They listen but hardly hear a thing
They speak yet they dont say a word
They aimlessly wander about
They have no purpose, its just a front
They lock themselves up inside
They are willing to let anyone in if they actually tried
They scream when no ones near
They seek attention thats never there

She looks in the mirror and sees two
And wonders if they world sees two too





so give some review, good or bad. i'll take it all

creepinson 01-10-2006 07:31 PM

dude... its all cliches and the repetition is pretty bad....

i really dislike that whole contradiction thing you got going on... cuz you just give up on it and it ruins the whole piece... and never end with two homonyms... especially twotoo

go dance or something

Crazy Luv 01-10-2006 07:38 PM

you like the word dude huh


how do i give it up?
not going on defensive mode, just wondering, im trying to make it better. thats why i need reviews.

i do dance, but i like to write. just started, so im working at it.

with this:

completely contradictory statements. pick one and run with it.

then later on you go on to say:
Quote:

They aimlessly wander about
They have no purpose, its just a front
so which one is it?

here's another one:
Quote:

if she locks her secrets deep inside, she's not an open book, it doesnt make sense.

okay i see with the

she may be open to reveal, but no one is willing to take the time to "read" her. which is what i try to explain when i said

hmm...still kind of confusing. from the rest of the song, it seems as if the subject is putting on an act for the rest of the world. By saying she is meant to have a purpose, you're saying that the rest of the world is imposing a standard upon her to follow, which isn't really coherant with the rest of the song. Also, the lyrics are really repetitive, i'd suggest spending some more time with it, and elaborating on the fact that the girl in the song is putting on an act for the rest of the world, without using the same lines over and over.

==Through using two contradictory statements in couplets - you are highlighting the confusion in the protagonist in your story. While this is uncommon, it is effective. (See bottom for why this is correct.)

She looks in the mirror and sees two
When she looks in the mirror, she sees two too

==Like someone said, using the homonym of two and too probably is detrimental to your poem. If you change up the words a little bit... it will turn these 2 lines into a pretty sweet image. One girl looking into the mirror and seeing two, and then the other girls she sees also sees two... pretty cool image :D==

They listen but hardly hear a thing
They speak yet they dont say a word
They aimlessly wander about
They have no purpose, its just a front
They lock themselves up inside
They are willing to let anyone in if they actually tried
They scream when no ones near
They seek attention thats never there

==Once again see bottom for the contradiction thing. I really like where this is going. While the beginning of the lines are continuously the same, it takes out all of the filler words that would have us read through the poem before we got to that which is the main focus.==

She looks in the mirror and sees two
And wonders if they world sees two too

Great ending potential, but like I agreed with earlier, you just have to change that "two too" line

Ok, now, about the contradictory lines in which people are giving you shit about. This is not incorrect. I'll tell you why! This works in Dialectical Methodology, contradiction does not refer to a conflict purely in a person's thinking or in logic. Rather, it indicates, for example, a clash between one's theory and one's practice, or one's words and one's deeds.

I am a writer, which is why I know about these random things. Although I had trouble explaining it, I had a little help from wiki for explanation's sake. So what you do here with the protagonist, merely outlines her troubles state of mind instead of negates it. I like this poem a lot. Some touch ups here and there would make it a classy piece of work :D

either/or 01-11-2006 01:34 AM

yeah this song is confusing. to make it better you'd have to change all the contradictions. which would basically just make a whole new song. oh well. keep writing.

Crowe 01-11-2006 02:03 AM

Uh, just so the contradiction bashing stops... I'll copy and paste what I wrote in my critique, just because it's really long and probably no one but crazy will read it...

Now whether Crazy new he was doing this or not, this is what it turned out to be... hes not wrong, its just something you're not used to.

creepinson 01-11-2006 01:46 PM

im not saying its a bad concept... the contradictiction thing is effective... but i cant see many people appreciating it as much as crowe and i... or just crowe.... ill go back to my rock now

he :eek:, im a she! for one thing! :rolleyes: :p:

& second of all....thank you all for your comments i'll take them into consideration. i'll keep working on it.

Crowe 01-11-2006 08:18 PM

My bad :D, SHE.

madeinNY 01-12-2006 04:05 PM

I coulda swore I review this...

Umm, yea the "she" and "they" part is way repetitive..other than that I like it...

They are willing to let anyone in if they actually tried <<that part actually kinda doesn't go with the rest of the "they" part in my opinion...maybe if you re-worded it a tinge...


When she looks in the mirror, she sees two too << the "too" shouldn't be here yet, just at the end of the song, because we haven't yet heard of another person or "they"....

what do you mean? the starting is speaking of the "two" the whole time.
thanks for your review though

madeinNY 01-12-2006 04:24 PM

Hm, I didn't get that effect...oh well Im slow. lol

No problem :]

Crazy Luv 01-12-2006 04:33 PM

No worries, i have to fix that(getting ppl not to be confused)

how about this one....

Revenge
There was something about the look in your eyes
That took me away to secret paradise
But then you let a bitch share my place
So i took my fist and smashed it in your face

You wanna cheat on me
I'll show you the bitch i could truly be
Cause you see,
That nice girl is gone and i took her place
Im here to teach you a lesson
You'll be forced to embrace

I tore my key into your pretty car
Broke into it by shattering the window
Took my keys and ripped deep into your leather seats
Busted both headlights and slashed the tires
Thats just the beginning

You wanna cheat on me
I'll show you the bitch i could truly be
Cause you see,
That nice girl is gone and i took her place
Im here to teach you a lesson
You'll be forced to embrace

Guess who wasnt home at this time of day
Got in through the side window and had my way
Gave my buddies the address of where i would be
Accidently forgot to lock and close the door behind me
Still dont think you had enough

You wanna cheat on me
I'll show you the bitch i could truly be
Cause you see,
That nice girl is gone and i took her place
Im here to teach you a lesson
You'll be forced to embrace

Called your work and had a talk with your boss
Informed him that i was in there earlier
That this particular worker reeked of pot
That should get the ball of suspicion rolling
Almost done, just one more thing

You wanna cheat on me
I'll show you the bitch i could truly be
Cause you see,
That nice girl is gone and i took her place
Im here to teach you a lesson
You'll be forced to embrace

Arranged to meet up with you and the dip**** that shares my place
Funny thing is that you actually cheated on her with me
Wait a minute, can you repeat that a little louder
"Playing aint easy when you're in the game"

to be honoest, i'm not crazy about this one. it reads more as a rant than a song. it's supposed to be a song about revenge, but the subject matter makes the protagonist of the song just seem like a petty, angry, overemotional b*tch. I know the character in the song is acknowledging that she's a b*tch, but still, it just doesnt shed a good light on it, and makes it seem pretty juvenile. Your other one was a whol lot better.

either/or 01-12-2006 10:52 PM

you angry women scare me :)

madeinNY 01-13-2006 05:31 AM

angry women=angry sex ;)

so be happy about it.

well she is an angry, emotional bitch at the time, due to him playing her. what good light is gonna come from destroying your soon-to-be ex's life? *lol* yea! its juvenile :), exactly what its suppose to be!

Crazy Luv 01-14-2006 10:47 PM

Heres a shorter one:

This game we play
Here we go again
Twisting to this scenario we choregograph
Knowing we both are trying
To make one another jealous
Who will succumb first
Is the motif of this game
