About Myself: I'm a 30-something living in North Carolina. I write for fun, and am looking for some critiques.

My literary heros include Stephen King, Dean Koontz, John Saul, and E.A. Poe. If you are looking for a really good short story, check out Dean Koontz's "Kittens" from his book Strange Highways. Also, check out Raymond Carver's "Little Things" (aka "Popular Mechanics"). And, if you can find it, a short called "The Old Black Hat" by Gary Raisor. Classic.

Also, for reading material, I enjoy comic books. Not only the Spider-Man, Batman, X-Men variety, but also Calvin and Hobbes, Zits, and Non-Sequitor. Some good reading right there, I tell you.

I thought it was pretty good. I like the meaning of what your saying. I wrote a poem like it back in high school that I'll have to post sometime. 
I have to disagree with Kasi, though. I thought the rhymes were a bit off. I'm pretty anal about that kind of stuff. In a rhyming poem words should rhyme, not sound kinda the same. That's just my own thought, though. Good meaning behind the poem, though.

Yeah, that was a little disturbing. It took me a couple times of reading it to say "Hmmm, I think I like it", but in the end you won me over. However, I thought the rhyming scheme was just a little off.

Wow. That's a pretty cool poem. The fact of the matter is, I wrote mine in a half an hour, as kind of a joke, because there were already three poems called "Death" floating around out there, so why not have me write one, too. I know that I can do better than this one- it was hastily thrown together. If I had spent any significant amount of time on it, I'd keep it.

I calls it "nonfiction, nonemotional, nonpreachy, I-wanna-play-too" poetry. Just trying to outdo the other "Death" poems. Probably not gonna happen. Probably gonna go ahead and delete this one after a few days.

Everyone else is doing it, so why can't I?

The poem was kinda bad, I'm sorry to say. It didn't rhyme right. It's one saving grace was the very last line, which, indeed, was a great line. That one should have been saved for a better poem. 
By the way, I still can't figure out why anyone would want to have more than one profile. If you write, write well, and take credit for it. If you write crappy, quit writing. Don't be an ass and try to boost your rating and your credits by commenting on your own stuff.

Um, I don't know about the split personality wars and such that seem to be going on here, but I liked the poem. Dark and sad, but not sappy and overdramatic. Good job.

I agree with Flossy. The story itself isn't at all bad. How you are chosing to tell it, is. Grammar, punctuation, and spelling are very important to keep a story flowing.  
Let me spell it out like this: When someone is reading your work, and it's good, they get taken in their mind to the place that you are describing for them. But, if the reader has to stop and reread a word or a sentence because it's not making much sense, that disrupts the flow and takes the reader's imagination out of the story. Does that make sense? Don't give up; I think you're on to something good here. Just keep practicing.

Wow. Hey pal, if you don't like writing, maybe you could try pottery or painting or dancing or something. 
Your miserable bloody lines are usually really good, but for some reason this one felt a little off. I'm not sure what it is.
