Broken...

Broken...

A Poem by SOUL LESS

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

Beautiful, lovely imagery, and it all flows so nicely.

I'm sure you have a soul, though you openly deny so. ;)

for the lines
"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"

maybe you could add one or two lines under each to describe your thoughts more.

Kind of sucks that the chrysalis gets shattered, instead of holding on and then breaking free from it's cocoon. But I get the point. Maybe "Shattered" as the title.

Wow, okay... this was a great piece, but at the same time, a weird one. You portray yourself as a creature inside a cocoon, and the world being it's hateful-a*s-self, knocks you off, and you shatter... okay... I don't know why, but I'm still going to give you a 100/100.

Why do you ask for revisions and suggestions?
I personally don't like to take specific ideas from people, I feel like it makes my poem our poem...

anyway, title ideas?
Cracked
defeated
stifled
etc

I like the morbid tone of this poem, it's done in a tasteful way and doesn't just say "my life sucks" but it's more like "society's a b***h and broke me"
:/

Simplicity itself. Ant yet immensely powerful

I am a boy. I love English Literature. I love to write. Some people hate me for it, but for me writing is like an escape from the real world. Its like reading a book except that I control what happens.. more..
