Broken...

I hang upon a tree

A veiled cocoon

Dreaming my dreams

Scared by my nightmares

I try to speak, and the world stifles me

I try to breath and the world suffocates me

I try to protest and the world breaks me

And I lie upon the ground

A shattered chrysalis

SOUL LESS.

Author's Note

I am not usually this morbid a poet,but I had a fever for two days and thus this poem:P Suggest a better title than broken.

This is an interesting piece. Great write!

I like this a lot actually. Especially the part about the world. If you let it, the world will do all those things. But you have to be brave and confident and pursue whatever it is that you wish, because if you dont, the world will destroy you.

Trapped? Idk jst a suggestion:) I liked it though.

This was amazing, and I loved the last line. As for a title I like it but if you wanted to change it I would suggest Shattered.
Keep up the good work.

[erikaguest]

the repetition in the poem is really powerful. i also think the last line is beautiful. great work :)

I love morbid and sensual poetry. I love touring that dark side of ourselves that we don't believe we have, or can get to. I think this piece is perfect

[Emily B]

you have a strong and pure voice

the poem is perfect

This is very nice and awfully real--in the sense that this is the way the world works for some of us.

A title? "Chrysalis" is simple and, metaphorically speaking, entirely true for the poem.
