Upon a wall, hangs a girl, they call her "pin up girl."
"Pin her up there, use the tacks with the long ends,
I will bring her down when I need her again."

Skin that aches where you pushed in the pins,
Dust that collects under my eyes, and on my lips
Where I don't think a smile will ever be again.

I tried so hard, to keep you entertained, but you
Gave me the name, "pin up girl," and decided
I was just another plain jane.

Forever and ever you once said, but now
I am your pin up girl instead, I don't know
What happened that made me a ghost in your head.

Better off dead, I know I would be- there isn't much
On this wall, that I could let myself down with, I can't
Pull out the tacks, my fingers are too stiff.

They are too short to draw blood, too small to help
Me in this losing game, I guess I will just hang here,
Until you take me down again.

When you pull the tacks from my skin, and I
Slide to my knees, I will shed a tear, and tell you
I won't be your pin up girl anymore my dear.
blahahah. whatever. just read it i guess. im pissed off and annoyed. cant remember how long it has been since i wasnt.

Pretty good!
one thing that kinda bothered me is you changed from 3rd person poetry in the first verse to 1st person in the rest.

is there a reason for that or was it just a small mistake?

anyways, great job
