As I was reading your description of the mannequin, I found myself hoping to read something about how they dress and pose you as they please. I feel this concept could add something too the piece, but do as you please. -J.A. Courtesy of the review marathon (link on profile).

xbluxmoonx 2007-03-29 ch 1,	wow. i like it. it's pretty powerful. awesome writing! and seriously, there shouldn't be any flames to this. i'm listening to music right now, and to me- this sounds like it could be transformed into lyrics- a chorus here, another chorus there. lol. nice work!

The Simple 2007-03-29 ch 1,	Damn! I LOVE this! This has a lot to do with what my friends and I are going through right now- whether to step up or dissapear from the big picture and become faceless. Excellent!
kelloggs256 2007-03-28 ch 1,	I liked this poem, although I do think that your last two lines were stating something very different from the rest of the poem. I got the message of trying to be something you're not, from all but the last two lines and what a child would think to themselves after the death of a parent they strived too hard to please.
Anahid Hartoonian 2007-03-27 ch 1,	Was he trying to convince himself that he was a 'real child' in the begining? I like it. Not bad.

Neteri Bennu 2007-03-27 ch 1,	"But seriously...don’t just flame" Oh darn... I needed to vent... Just kidding... its good.
S. Ben Beach 2007-03-26 ch 1,	well, it's still pretty good, in spite of a writer's block! Although at times the lines are a bit cliched ("Weeping no longer soothes the pain"), but some really good lines in there, like "Personality is merely a myth." Even with a writer's block this is really good!
Gonzovalies 2007-03-26 ch 1,	Hey man.. I really like the mannequin perspective, I totally relate to the whole "puppet" or "a real child" theory. I personally refur to lifes "puppets" as the "ignorant masses" or "sheep". And the "real child", which we all aspire to be, I refur to them as "those who try to be human".
aridelaine 2007-03-26 ch 1,	Well first off I understand the writers block thing, nasty little thing is in it. On to the poem...over all I liked it there are a few things that could be improved on. One thing that I noticed was the trasition between the 11th and 12th line seemed a little awkward. I had to reread it and even then it seemed funny. Then in line 8, you have "which words should be spoken" I think changing it to the "the words should be spoken". the word which just did not seem to fit. I dont know. Keep writing!
