beauty filled

beauty filled

A Poem by Betweenthekeys


i wanted to write ABOUT something beautiful today
so
i took a sharply pointed shard of glass
pushed it into my
sternum and began to tear away my flesh...
i dug deep
to the core of my insides
and pulled out mangled and tangled miles of muscle and tissue
AND A HALF BEATING ORGAN THAT LOOKED LIKE A COWS TONGUE
perplexed, i flung it all flank right
where is the beauty?
i can't find any,
but I have a beautiful heart
that's what they say anyway?
oh, i guess it only functions inside my body!

Great write!
the mood of your piece changes dramatically first calm, then violent and at last conveying a deep message, heart is not beautiful.... people's emotions are.
Very wonderful piece... Nicely done.
Great job!
