Me.
A shattered soul.
Many have left.
Many have torn a piece away
And taken it with them.
(Pieces of me)
Many have shredded.
Many have broken
And stomped on.
(Pieces of me)
Many have hurt.
Many have burned
And scorched.
(Pieces of me)
Many have crushed.
Many have crumpled
And thrown away.
(Pieces of me)
I stand here.
A shattered soul.
Many Pieces
Lie across this Earth
And beyond.
(Pieces of me)
I
Look
At you.
(My angel)
And only one thing
Runs across
My mind.
Will she help me
Collect and heal.
(Pieces of me)
So I will
No longer be
A shattered soul.

I was attracted to your poem by the title, which I think is really good but unfortunately I don't think that the poem reaches the same standard. Although I do like the content of your poem I find the continuous repetition too distracting, For me the flow would be improved with longer stanza's, the feelings and emotion convey well.Val.

So many pieces of me - a few too many, I think, or maybe they are just too close together. Very good concluding line.

This is a very gripping poem full of raw emotion. You really let yourself express what you feel so deeply. I think it is a wonderful poem!! Warm Regards...vivela

Wow. VERY well put together. You have quite the talent.This not only gave me a little chill down my spine,, it made me really think. I love work like this. You have done a really good job. Thanks for the good read!

repetition is overdone
You did ask for crit:
I like the background here, it works pretty well with the pieces theme - I might use this formy recent re-write of a piece called "Jigsaw" - thanks for the idea.
I was attracted to read this because of the title - it's catchy and strong and it reminds me a Jewel song ("Pieces of you").
I like the repetition of (pieces of me) between the lines, but I feel the repeats are too close together, that there should be more words between them to prevent them getting dull. Or perhaps you could remove half of the repetitions and have 2 stanzas between them instead of one?
I also wonder if the repetition of "many" is a bit over done?
If you took out all the repeated words in this piece there would not be a lot left to read - for me, personally that approach doesn't work. Sorry!
Feel free to ignore my comment, it's only one opinion.
