My soul a young lamb bound for attrition
There dying on the jagged rocks of time
Frozen and beaten into submission
Bleeding victim of merciless crime
Can’t attach meaning to any of this
Can’t even hide away from the thunder
I aim for a life but I always miss
Numb with pain as my heart’s torn asunder
I just life and death my way through each day
Awaiting an angel that knows my name
Suspicious eyes cause the facade to fray
I’m finding out that I have lost this game
Balancing trust on the head of a pin
And trying to brush the tears from my skin

Shalalalalala...ooooh. Hercules song...I heart Hercules. It smells nice, like vanilla. Your poem...sonnet, actually, I adore sonnets...from the way the format moves gracefully to the words that adorn them, I LOVE SONNETS!! And yours is no exception...
When I read it, the ideas fly by so fast I can't grasp all of them. I also love that life and death phrase...goodness, you know how to write. YAY YOU!! Don't be so sad, though...life stinks sometimes but it gets better. IT DOES!! Actually, I need to go kick Paul right about now...
Now I'm sad. -
Oh, I, too, love the phrase "I just life and death my way through each day..." and then, you blew me away with "Balancing trust on the head of a pin..."
These lines are simply beautiful. -
Every time I read about such dark emotions, I feel like bringing light into the page. I know it can be annoying, so I'll not do it here now.
Still need to say that life is never so dark as we might think.
At some point, the sun or the moon will show up....here I'm doing that again.
Although your words sound sad, we must say that you have a great capacity to show deep emotions.
Now I know why Yem feels so happy to have you in this site
Kisses,

A dark, metaphorical and introspective(?)poem.
I like this:
I just life and death my way through each day
An interesting expression...and sometimes that is exactly what we do. Lots of emotion placed on these words, and it is indeed sometimes a balancing act.
