dissapointments

 And yes

here we go again

there does not 

 seem to be an end

 

one more hurt to add to my collection

one more pain

from which there is no protection

 

these dissapointments that i know so well

one more sad story for me to tell

they are making it

 a little bit harder to get out of bed

a little bit harder...

to believe

all these

words that are said

 

what happened to that

happy go lucky girl

that i  used to know

where is her her sparkle 

where is her glow

 

and so

they  become the poisen  

that i now drink

they are the weight i feel

that makes me sink

they are

the salt that continues

to stings my wounds

the silk i use

to spin my cocoon

where my metamorphis takes place

where i transform 

into that melancholy girl

who is contanstly dissapointed

with her world.....

I like you creative reverse use of cocoon sybolism. Don't think I read it like that before and I've read alot of poetry. Most of it is always a cocoon then awakening in a sunshiny world know what I mean. Anyway, this poem made me think that some butterflies can be dark or there is a kind of beauty in the darkness-- or.... something like that anyway. Thought provoking write.

Very nice choice of words, to describe a feeling I so understand.
I am always touched by your poems. It is the vocabulary that speaks to me ? Your stories always do. The way you tell them with such honesty, sometimes a bit of sarcasm. I know it's also the way you put the words together.
My favorites from this one :
"one more hurt to add to my collection
one more pain
from which there is no protection", because it's bitter, then you know such vulnerability in the next sentence, so touching
I love the imagery of the last stanza.
thank you !

So beautifully bittersweet... You vividly portray a life turned upside down from the pain of the world... Flows so perfectly, though there is such a darkness in the last lines.. awakening from chrysalis to dissapointment...
