This soul
Is shattered
The pieces make no sense
They are reassembled
Upside down,
Backwards,
Reversed…
With one piercing another.
Why do I look into the mirror and see
A ghost of a soul looking back at me
The lines so provocative, they tantalize…
They give me shadows that mesmerize..
I see what beauty I long to soak in…
But still
Inside
There is too much that is
Broken
My heart, my soul… they both would be wrapped
If I could just get the pieces of my soul remapped.
How can I allow every one to come and go
And tread upon those fragile pieces of my soul?
Guarded you say
Well I say hell yea I am!
I love those as close as family run…
But until they make a glue for me…
Pretty words…
Pink bows
And pixi sticks
Are all that you’ll see…

First of all, the pic is pretty cool, and ur nails are too
But you look too good for your soul to be shattered!
I like the whole structure here, with bits that rhyme and then other unrhyming short sentences that emphasise what you've already written.
It sounds like song lyrics...
Cool poem!

i like the imagery of a soul as delicate as a mirror, as glass and also as sharp when put back together...just caught me i love using mirrors as metaphors i do it a lot..have'nt seen you do it much though so this was awesome to me, cause i can relate to the words
