2:39 AM
July 20, 2013
It's at 2:39 AM
When I shed my skin
And turn into the savage
Who's scared of her own reflection
And screams desperate tangles of words
At the ignorant blank walls

This poem reminds me of a small child who cannot talk yet and so in devilish mischief writes on the walls to vent its feelings and desires. Maybe even an teenager who has actually trying to get attention and be heard soem way. Weird spin I know but I do this with the poems I like.

This is the second time I've read this! I can't remember why I didn't comment the first time, but I remember seeing this on teenink from you before and reading it. It's as great as the first time I read it. It's like a snake or a werewolf, transforming or shedding into a new being. It's wonderful, and I can almost relate to it even though I would never expect myself to. That's a lie, I can see myself relating to this. This poem is weird, strange, beautiful.

This is a very awesome poem!!! It's very creative!
This one frightens me a little...Probobly because I don't understand it well...Humans--all humans are afraid of what they don't understand. It's why children are afraid of the dark. I'm assuming you were tortured by inner demons at 2:39am and wrote a poem about it?

Hey there! Again, I love your username! I actually saw this poem in the forums and I always meant to comment on it, but I guess I never got to it. I am glad that you posted it though! I love the title, it's completely original and simple and the fact that it's a time makes it so eye catching, reader's are so drawn to titles, I know I LOVE to analyse things especially titles and try to figure out what they are going to be about. With a time title, I just never know! I love the guessing game. So this poem is very powerful. The simplicity of it makes it all the more powerful because you're able to get everything you want to out in only a few lines. Really impressive and really beautiful. The emotion in here is wicked. I love this. GREAT job! Sorry I never got to it before.

Very precise word choice, which I appreciate - particularly in such a short, powerful poem.

I love 'screams desperate tangles of words at ignorant blank walls.' Very short, but it is also very fascinating and effective because it is so short. The only things I suggest are to add some punctuation and to not capitalize every line. Great work!
