Pieces of a soul
She had built up walls and cut herself,
She cried herself to sleep,
She felt alone and hopeless,
Being in a hole so deep,
She watched them pass and laugh at her,
She fought tears each day,
She was a fallen angel,
She had been thrown away,
She watched the dancing shadows,
Upon her bedroom wall,
She stared blankly out the window,
She silently watched the rain fall,
The drops like her tears,
Falling, falling, hitting the ground,
She was completely broken,
Her pieces scattered, never found,
She seemed so familiar,
I knew who she wanted to be,
I knew everything about her,
I knew this because she is me.

A disclaimer is never necessary. You may judge your own poetry differently than your readers. Let us make up our own minds.heartstrong wrote:This is one of my "not so good" poems. I'm just wondering what kinds of replies I'll get to it.
Generally at the Poetry Pages we do not "rate" poetry as "good" or "not so good". Every topic is accepted and read on its own merits.
Welcome to the Poetry Pages. So let's see what others have to say...
An' it harm none, do what ye will. Blessed Be.

I've always liked the "conscious" style of poetry, talking to oneself or talking about oneself like from another perspective.
I guess, it seems, we pull close to ourselves when no one else pulls us close.
Well expressed.

I never even asked to come,
so now I'm living in the days.

to stay alive,
hoping that one day
I earn my chance to die..." - Goodie Mob

The way you have effectivly written about yourself in the third person has worked for me. It captures a feeling of looking in on yourself and examining things from a more objective stand point. To me you have shown a realisation of the poet coming to terms with who they are and what they are doing to themselves. Your ability to sympathise with your own situation and not deny it.
The metre of the poem becomes a little confused as the poem progresses but this is a minor critisism of what is esentially an enjoyable read.

Re: Pieces of a soul
Aw, thanks so much.
Wow, this thing is ancient. Feels like I wrote it in another lifetime. Maybe I did.
