In Pieces

In Pieces

A Poem by Skylar Rose
"

So this poem is a personal one, as are most writing pieces. I would like to hear your feedback, and if there's anyone out there with any stories to tell, by all means, do.

"
The pretty patches are strong.
They do their job of concealing the flaws.
The little fissures and splinters
that impair the perfection.
Until she shatters
from the pressure.
Almost
as if you smash
a porcelain 
doll.

Fantastic thoughts behind this poem, at least as I see them. Putting on a brave face, masking fears and sadness with a smile that hurts to wear until that time when it all gets to be to much and we can no longer pretend and the walls come crashing down. Love the procelain doll analogy, it fits this wonderful little piece percfectly.

We're made more beautiful by our imperfections, and if we shatter - we'll only have to patch ourselves back together with gold.
I hope to see more of your posts soon :)

The little fissures never do hold at the same place, they grow until breakage happens. Great description. I like the reference to a doll too, so easy to break, and so beautiful. nice work.
