Split

Two things you should learn to embrace, that which draws you in & that witch makes you cringe. Within both is wisdom.

 

 

 

 

We SPLIT, define, masking the underline.

Shallow as the depth of mirrors!

All reviled in sweetened time.

Unable to wash the soul with tears.

 

Keep walking the thin glass line,

one day you must face your fears.

You are SPLIT and undefined!

The raw darkened side sneers,

 

aware it has been undermined.

Hold fast, turn, change gears!

Be raw as the time draws nearer.

Heal the darkness as it appears.

 

No longer SPLIT, vision clearer.

 

~Melody

 

 

 

Author's Note

What we so often define ourselves by, is the same image we see in the mirror. Unfortunately this image holds as much depth as the mirror itself.

Wow my Poet friend. A very powerful poem. I like the places you took me in your words. Hard to find peace in your reflection. I ask myself daily. Did I do anything good? A mental journey into amazing poetry. Thank you.

Idea of 'SPLIT' is very nicely expressed. I understood your poem completely after going through one of your reply to the a review. :) any ways I have got all in the end and its pretty decent. You have nice thoughts and imaginations. I'm not guessing it as it is very clear by your poems, the way you stylize the words and their meanings is wonderful. You have a mind which can think out of the box. Keep writing and keep sharing.

Not sure what you're trying to say. Not your fault, I'm simple minded and concentration tends to stray. We have the capacity for good or evil, right and wrong. It's a frequent subject of write and song. An amoeba splits and the two go their own way; maybe that's what you're trying to say. In identifying ourselves, there are really three of us. Who we think we are, who others see riding in the car, and God only knows who we really are. So, I don't make a fuss. I just write bad poetry, and read good writers like yourself.

This poem is speaking of our ability to do two things; look at others surface deep and judge as well as look at ourselves for only what others see. The deep compelling and wounded parts of us go unnoticed and thus we slowly split. It is vital to see both the good and bad in ourselves and others. The time will come were all is revealed. It is best to look deeper and allow the raw weakened parts to be exposed and thus…heal. No longer split, but whole. This will only happen when we as a whole stop judging others as well as ourselves. Hope this helped. BTW there is no bad poetry! I have read your writings and enjoy them. They are fragments of your soul; please never dismiss your voice through poetry.

After a difficult poem(thoughts), I guess writer's note is the best way to define yourself about or for the poem. So that the first, reader takes whatever one sees, feels and understands, after that one gets your point of view as well. This idea works on kind of poems, you write. :) So do consider my suggestion.

Most of my poetry speaks for itself, depending on the mindset. Some get it some don't. I will try out your sugestion on the next one. I personaly think, good poetry does not need explanation. I am still working on skill.

[Lily Mae]

So true..there is so much more to be seen in someone other then the first glance...there is so much more inside the depth of that mirror..xo
