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.

. oh, this is just so poignant ... these are the battles that i fight ... constantly ... and sometimes, it's so tough to gather the pieces and walk again ... that i wish i could just stay in bed and stare at the ceiling ... at those times, my best buddy rescues me ... she says ... let's fight it out ... let's try ... maybe we have so much to fight against because we can ... and then i slowly get myself together again ... but not without the awareness that we live in world that does not encourage love and freedom and the arts ... much, much, much more needs to change ... before we can say ... yes, it's time for me to step out of my cocoon fearlessly ... exquisite poetry ... intense and deep ... true and profound ... very skillfully and sensitively written ...

Nice read... I have used the word chrysalis in a poem, but this is the only time I have ever seen anyone else use it!

[Christie Moses]
