Status

How can I condense all my complications into one sentence?

 

I'm the calm within my storm.
I'm better than my best suggests.

I abraded the bands that bound my hands
only to learn I still yearn the rope burn
that reminds me, defines me, defies me.

 

Curiously writhing, furiously writing
these absurd displays of word decay.
Rest and digest while I digress.

 

I'm...  [edit] [delete]

This makes me so happy. I'm sure everyone on here has wasted time away trying to figure out what their 'status' is. The second stanza is my favorite--you constructed it with all the right words and with perfect rhythm.

And I LOVE the last line. :)

Fantastic idea!

The struggle to be defines when one does not necessarily wish to be so condensely defined is something I have personal issues with..I most definitely identify with this writing...great work!

The last line was genius. I read the poem. Then I read it again. Said an obscene word because the structure, thought, and phrasing bound me within the ropes of which you write. Poetry at it's very best.

Perfect explanation of a writer/poet.

We get to where we are through certain character building situations, to the point we crave for it.

Good choice of words and form.

A good write
