a Search for Meaning

i choke on butterflies
imagery taunts psyche's low self esteem
brush stroked clean
whilst i try to value the mirrors view
denying urge to defecate form
everything i'm not bleeds from my wrists
word's form the basis for my extinction

mind carrying the illusion of their conviction
why was i born?

Author notes

my illness suggests i have been ripped, "again, of my achievement
i say the universe knows what i have done... i have earnt my place amongst a greater intelligence than the one this life has offered, i own substance even if they do deny my written form, traitors to their own soul are selling their own soul.

    rich with imagery emotion and meaning. the saying that less is more is so beautifully true because you can say so much in a few lines. You have captured the prompt with your own feelings that I am sure so many of us in the world share, even if we refuse to admit it. well done and best of luck

    Rich, with loads of imagery and metaphore. Makes the reader delve into thought. Something not soon forgotten. Well said

    Best of luck in the contes
