This is a poem I just wrote I think it is okay...
I dont know...

No face

I have no face.
I have no breath.
I have no name.
I have no face
Just want to be noticed
but I am a shadow in a dark room.
non exisitent, not there
I walk by so why cant any one see
what I am and what I am meant to be
I walk with no reflection.
An ant in the sea.
Maybe I am invisable.
Or maybe theres no space for me.
Cast into the darkness I walk alone no light in my hand
just a blindfold of steel in which I cant see.

go ahead spill it....

Heyhe. Be patient. We only have 40 something members, most of whom are offline.

And personally, I didn't like your poem. Its very overdone with overdone phrases and suck.

Whoa, . O_O Critique is good but that's about as close to flaming as I've seen on this board so far.

On the poem: I agree that it feels overdone, but I liked it (and it's syntax) until the vampire reference, because I felt it could go somewhere different and still be non-cliche up until that moment. Take out the vampire and concentrate on imagery and I think you'll have a pretty decent poem.

Is that better?
I saw the problem when you said it.
Your right it is a decent poem without that part..

In your revised version... *ponders* Which is nice, actually, the imagery sort of clashes. Well, not so much clashes as seems to be pulling in different ideas all under the same roof of invisiblility.

Perhaps if you stick to one image theme, it would be more forceful. For instance:

The ant and the sea metaphor brings in the idea of smallness, when before you'd been speaking about shadow, invisibility, and loss of individuality. While the idea that you're one alone, insignifigant within a larger space, while connected to the idea of being faceless in a crowd is just different enough to throw the reader off. (( At least me. wink ))

The rest also mix together many different ideas that, in such a short poem, are a little bit discombobulating. ^^ I do like the beginning, however.
