No one ever asked

            Like a ghost,

            He came and went.

No one ever asked who he spent.

Like a mirror,

            He was trapped.

No one ever asked what he wrapped.

Like a bird,

            He was free.

No one ever asked where he would flee.

Like a vampire,

            He was twisted.

No one ever asked when he existed.

Like a fawn,

He couldn’t hide.

No one ever asked why he tried.

            Like a ghost,

            He couldn’t pause.

No one ever asked who he was. 

            Like a mirror,

            He could shatter.

No one ever asked what he smattered.

            Like a bird,

            He had to fly.

No one ever asked where he cried.

            Like a vampire,

He was revived.

No one ever asked when he survived.

Like a fawn,

He was not feared.

No one ever asked why he disappeared.

With vivid description you have shared feelings that we all can relate to in some form or manner. Heartfelt piece! ~ Jude :-)

This was interesting in parts but some of it made no sense to me and seemed even a bit forced and rang false. Not to offend, I do understand the obscure and rather hold on passionately to it, but this was a mix of brilliance and the not-so-much for me. Not to say I won't want to read more of your writings... I guess I just didn't feel this one all the way through. Just my opinion.

To be honest I tried every which way to try to find any meaning behind this poem. Is "smatter" a word? The words seem like perhaps they really meant something to you, but to me...well, I'm still trying to mke the pieces fit.

I really liked it a lot. It seems very real. It was very powerful and I loved the pattern you used with all of the verses. I think it added a certain feel to the poem and gave it emphasis. Nice job, it was really great.

:O Wow this was a really good read! You depicted a sort of lifestyle and the way this was written, made me feel trapped, lonely, twisted and at the end, you liberated me. Amazing, truly amazing.

I got chills as I read this...You're right. It does have a very real feel to it. It sounds like a lot of people that have had problems these days. I really like this...Nice write.
