Dearest

A Poem by Kumala

Dearest.

Dearest brain: telling my lungs to breathe

My hands to shake

Helping my eyes blink back the tears

That you insisted to make

Dearest soul: which resides somewhere inside

Are you pure or rotten?

Do you need saved?

Or are you happy being forgotten?

Dearest heart: are you still beating?

You’ve been broken many times

Yet you’re still pumping blood through my veins

Where’s the strength you always find?

Thank you .

Very striking, good writing!

Just "Do you need saved?" Needs editing.

But otherwise, compelling and original

I really liked the form of this, a letter to one's own body. So nicely written

They always say, follow your heart. This seems to be a good example of that.

I too like the format.

Thank you.

i liked the lay out. I related to the dialog "happy being forgotten" . Really different and effective. I also noticed that the heart was the only reliable one through out the conversation with yourself. Nice!
