Collections

I apologize for how repetitive this is. It's kind of supposed to be in order to make a point.

Inside my mouth

is a collection of meandering words and useless phrases.

Inside my bones

is a collection of secret passwords and whispered praises.

Inside my heart

is a collection of everything I am and am trying to be.

Inside my soul

is a collection of void, dark matter, and stars that you can't see.

Inside my mind

is a collection of enough words to start a revolution.

Inside my body

is a collection of hidden poise and elocution.

Inside my feet

is a collection of all the miles I have fought.

Insight my bed

is a collection of the sanctuaries I have sought.

Inside my life

is a collection of all I have accomplished.

Inside my failures

is a collection of every idea I have abolished.

I am a vast collection of a great many things.

And I refuse to live my life as if controlled by puppet's strings.

The major mistake is in your apology, and, quite frankly, it's the only one I see. Poems which follow a repetitive fashion such as yours have always been amongst my favourites. The subtle changes really bring it to life and the collection (see what I did there?) progression are brilliant. It describes life and is very relatable. I adore your writing story as well. You did really well! I look forward to reading more from you.

Aw, thank you so much! I really appreciate everything you said :)

No problem! I enjoy reading good literature.

I don't think you need apologise at all. I am a proponent of repetition in my own writing as it is what comes out of me at times Emi.
The premise or the context of the poem - a collection of collections - lends itself to such repetition - like records in a computer database - similar but different.
I like the rhyming scheme - not enough rhymers I feel, personally speaking.
Good writing Emi.

Thank you! I appreciate it. Not everything of mine rhymes, but some of it does. Purely because sometimes it's hard for me to convey certain messages and still have it rhyme.
