I stare at foreign words.
My handwriting -- I did not write them.
Not conciously was I there.

I absorb the hatred spewed in ink,
Wavering, strength refusing me.
Cyanide lines I don't remember.

I hold my tongue to others.
I turn the pen on myself.

Words are dangerous weapons -- don't slice your own pride with your tongue.

Thank you very much (: And yes, you've got it ^_^ Depending on the reader it could be about self-deprecation, or something slightly different in the case that I drew from to write it. Unique to your own interpretation in the details, but you've definitely caught the overarching theme precisely (: Thank you again :D

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

Wow this was interesting. I get the whole point of the poem about you hurting yourself with your own words right? Well anyways I read this and I realize how much talent goes unseen. But you should really add more. Its heading in a great direction.

Wow, this is a very powerful poem.  I especially like the line "Cyanide lines I don't remember."  The figurative language is a very strong point.  Great job!

Wow, this is great!  Words can definitely be used for great, but when used for evil, they can be like poison.  I love the metaphor here.  Your descriptive words like 'spewing' and 'wavering' definitely give off great imagery.  I honestly have no criticism.  Excellent work!

Thank you! (: As you can tell, it isn't in my usual "style" (longer, with stanzas of sorts -- you know what I mean XD). 

It's meant to have more impact, and I'm very glad it does -- inspiring thoughts is the greatest praise I can get XD

Again, as with all of your comments, I greatly appreciate it

Wow. This is one of the few things that I find that actually really hits home for me. You did an amazing job in so few lines. I really loved reading that.

Please take a look at some of my work if you have a spare minute. I'd really like to get some constructive criticism from someone like you.
