A girl i met at camp was very disturbed. Every night I listened to her cry. Every time I walked to the showers, I saw the bruises decorating her back. One day, she asked for a poem. "On what?" I asked "On love and religion." she replied. "I usually only write about pain and love." Suddenly a crowd shoved forward in the breakfast line and she disappeared. All I could hear was her voice echoing off the cold walls- "They're the same thing, Helena" In the halls, months later, I saw her. Her face was cut, but all she said was, "Do you have a poem I can read?" "Why are you so interested in me?" I regreted saying this so cruelly, trying to keep up my high status. This girl was frowned upon. Slut Liar Wh#re Bitch Anything to hurt her Maybe kill her She answered, "I can feel them." I knew what she meant. Maybe she was the only one who could. So I went home and wrote a poem. No, I wrote ten. And the next day I gave them to her. All I remember is her going into the bathroom and hearing a sob. Suicide Murder Gangs Echoes of voices still speed through my mind Voices from the days after When she never came back. This weas one I wrote for her, along with "Lady of the Night", "Explain My Love" and "Multimeaning Poem". Please take it seriously. Here it is- “Echo” by Helena Royal Mountains rising high Underneath their violaceous cloaks Are cracks, spaces, caves, silent prayers Bruises hidden by lilac trees And among the lying brush You stand Maybe you’re thinking of me Maybe you’re not Do you feel remorseful, culpable Do you know what you did To make me ensconce under a cold blanket And wait for salvation Or maybe starvation You look up at the accepting sun It beats down on your brown hair Mine, too But it’s so far away. Like the winds that whistle in the trees That distract you That make you shiver Like me under the wet quilt Maybe with a notebook Maybe not And you scream a certain freeing yelp A scream that echoes through the caves Only He hears you Only I hear you I wonder if he cares About your secrets About my pain Because He doesn’t stop you As you scream again You know it’s a letter Just to be sent back So you continue Happy about your silly echo reaching you Instead of my voice But you don’t see me Just sitting here I smile, your voice soothing Because only I know That you did that for me Lost Alone Knowing the letter had been received And your echo Made up for my lost tears And your echo Made up for you disappearing And your echo Made up for the fight Only the abused mountains understood |

No way. Speechless as in I can't believe how good this is... you should send it to get published somewhere. No offense, I didn't mean to sound as if I expected it to be crappy. |

you don't have to have money here in Portland! You find an agent, he gets paid by the company, and he finds someone who likes it to publish it! |
