(Untitled)-->> Need help naming this one...

Feeling hurt, broken, and tired

I hung up my anger

And dressed myself with heartache.

On my sleeve, I wear

Shattered pieces of my heart

The makings of me

Are falling apart…

Needle and thread in hand

I attempt to hem

The fabric of my life.

Miserably, I fail

As I wash and scrub

The stains with my tears

I hang the shredded heartache

Out to dry…

Hurt, broken, and tired

I once again

Dress myself up in anger…

Makings of Me

[Drifter]

It's impressive how some poems, that at first seem simple, offer us a provocative insight into another's heart and soul. If you're still looking for a title, I like "Visceral I Am Clothed" Granted, it doesn't grammatically make sense, but it popped into my head as i read the poem.

great poem!!!

yoh... i cannot begin to evevn emagine a nam e for such a piece,- i dnt know- but your simplistic way of writing get to me, its like only your pen or rather you mental pen febricates and scripts words into celistialism. great piece, i'll be reading more of your works everytime i come in here... its good to know that- words can be narrated in such a simple manner. once a again. thank you.

suggestion for the name:- go to youtube and search for:- Nicole Kidman - Tribute to Ada [Ada Plays].

i think there within the melody you might find the name your looking for.

hmm i like closet space, but it doesnt seem to me your doing more than using the metaphor of putting on clothes.. if we are comparing colthes and how you feel than you seem more like a seamstress to me

"alterations of me" or "Alterations"

eaither wya, i love your style of word play, it doesnt seemed forced or like your "trying to sound deep". the piece itself as a whole is wonderful, dont change a thing. it like your talking to yourself and know one was meant to hear it. i got the visual, and i love it although its sad at the same time.

I once again

Dress myself up in anger…

Although you fail time and time again, you pick yourself back up, alter yourself at bit and try again, reluctantly it seems but you try..
good write young lady, look forward to more!

I'll put a second vote in for Closet Space I love the meaning and metaphor that ICE had, and it encompasses the entire meaning of the idea you can wear emotions. Thank you for the read via read request!!! It has such beautiful images and feeling behind it. Beautiful poem!!!

This is a very powerful piece. It is very emotional, my suggestion as a title would be "The Fabrics of My Life" but that is just me, I enjoyed this poem, it definitely is very reflective as well. Keep up the beautiful work :)

i would probably title this 'dressed in anger' or something to that effect...
i loved the poem. brilliant piece of writing
