Broken fairy wings are scattered on the floor She sits in the corner rocking Back and forth Back and forth Her eyes tear streaked and bloodshot Her nails clawing at her arms her shoulders anywhere Just trying to get rid of the voices So she rocks Back and forth And she cuts All down her arms. The blood mixes with her tears. The shakes wrack her body and she begins to wail Uttering out a blood curling scream Making the hairs on her neck stand up As she rocks Back and forth Back and forth Amidst her destruction. Broken fairy wings. Scattered on the floor. As she cries herself a river Trying to rid herself of the voices That will torcher her forever more
some of the repetition works really well- a strength. a difficult subject to write well just because it's been written over and over. A great opening: "Broken fairy wings are scattered on the floor / She sits in the corner rocking / Back and forth / Back and forth" just that, on it's own- would make a beautiful poem- draw the reader in, make them question.
Those voices do tend to torture. They sit quietly in your head when your sickly alone and yell when you need them to leave you be. Those voices....damn those voices.
Well, where to start.
Writing has been something that has let me express who I want to be, and what I see and feel about the world. It's an open door, a window into something more. What you are wri.. more..
