A Crippled Rose

Poem By: XBrokenHeartedX
Young Adult


I didn't think I would ever get good enough inspiration to EVER in my life write something like this. This poem isn't usually the kind of stuff I write. I suppose it is, but in a more deeper form. But I was walking out in the rain, and I was in this park. And suddenly I just stop and listen to everything around me. It was like I could hear every raindrop as it hit the ground..and then this poem began to run through my mind. It's hard to explain to you HOW it should be read, but I guess as long as I get out this message it doesn't matter. It says a lot of different things so I don't exactly know...but here you go:) View table of contents...

Feelings of confusion, hate, doubt and sorrow

Burry deep beneath my skin

Taking my soul

Burning my flesh

Until nothing is left and I am lost

Taken

Stolen.

Tears as black as night that fall down cheeks filled with wounds that never seem to heal

Scared with marks that reek with lies spoken from the tongue of the person who you thought would never go away

Eyes that watch the movements of the swaying grass

That catches the distractions of your mind for that one second before you die

Puddles filled with blood that smear across pavement embedded with footprints

There is a room filled with people

I scream and yet my voice is not heard because it is trapped beneath its own lies

Finally this nothing burns the rest of what makes me turning my body into the ash of the living dead

And then I am fully lost in this breeze full of angry words thrown at me from all angles that never seem to disappear

Broken dreams lay awake at night

Waiting for a place they can call home

Waiting

For this fairytale of a life to take them into the bright light in the sky

For the moon and the stars to say goodbye

And for the sun to break through the darkness that it has put us inside

Until it can take no more and its light fades into nothing and we are forever lost in this dark abyss

I am thrown from body to body

Living

Dying

Seeing soul after soul and becoming someone new for the sake of this broken world, stitched up with band aids that never seem to stick

I am alive, but yet I am dead

I am seen, but yet I am invisible

I am heard, but yet nobody listens

I am me, but yet I am somebody else

I am nothing

Closing in on loved ones bodies who lie on the ground wishing for a happy ending

I am the darkness

The night that has killed

Myself

Ha Ha thank you:) Your comment has made me feel better. I get everything from rain and nature. When I've got writers block I just take walks. That's what works for me:) Thanks so much again, I'm glad that you enjoyed my poem.

"And then I am fully lost in this breeze full of angry words thrown at me from all angles that never seem to disappear" Wow. This has got to be my favourite line. So true.
This has been the deepest poem I've read of yours. Perhaps that walk with the rain called to something deeper inside of you.
So beautiful.

Thank you very much:)

Your words are very intricate.
Beautiful.

Perhaps the conscience speaks of something you fail to see? It is telling you to let it out.
Great poem you have here.

I am new to booksie. Do check out my poems sometime.
Keep writing.

*returns hug* Thanks I need that:) I'm glad that you enjoyed it K-bear, and thanks for reading and commenting.

Thanks for telling me to check this out. I'm so glad you did. I wouldn't want to miss reading this poem. I think it's very deep and beautiful. You definitely put everything you could into it, and you make it sound like there's really no way out of this. I really enjoyed it, I hope you can get some more inspiration to write something else as deep and enchanting as this poem.

Who knows, you could get enough inspiration from walking on a cloudless day to write a novel with your luck.

Ha Ha oh thanks! Well I usually don't get THAT much inspiration (especially for novels) when I walk in the rain. I'm glad you thought it was deep, I was hoping for that effect. And you never CAN get out of this....Thanks so much again, I'm glad that you enjoyed my poem:D

wow-I am amazed at the depths of your soul that you were able to reach into, then pull them out and put into words to describe everything you feel in this poem-it is very powerful, I think a lot of us can relate to it so I liked it

Thanks so much! I'm so glad that you enjoyed it, and that you saw the heart and soul I put in there. This is my deepest poem I've ever written, haha:) Thanks again.

Hey BrokenHearted :) I love this poem. Your style is unique and I find that you write very good poetry. Your pacing is perfect and your word choice is awesome. I loved these lines: "For the moon and the stars to say goodbye, And for the sun to break through the darkness that it has put us inside" Beautiful. Take care, Regan

Ha Ha thanks cris! I'm so glad you liked it:D

Oh, wow. I read on your profile that you were 13, and you openly welcomed criticism. I thought, "Okay, no big deal. I'll read one of her poems and I'll point out everything that's wrong with it."

I was expecting some sort of immature love poem that basically said, "Oh, I love him. WHY DOESN'T HE LOVE ME?!" But I started reading this and I was... stricken... by how deep and meaningful it was. It's just lovely. I wouldn't change a SINGLE thing about it. It's just amazing, Zoe. Keep it up. ;-)

Author Comment:

Ha Ha, yeah I read some of those immature love poems a lot. But you underestimate me! Ha ha:) Thanks so much, I'm glad that you found out different, and thought it was deep. Thanks again:D

that was really good and deep i dont think any of mine would ever be as good as this one i cant wait to see the rest of your poems.

That was so sad. I hope you don't really feel that way *cries* No one should ever feel that way. ::hugs::

Ha Ha my whole life since 4th grade I've been feeling that way. But thanks:) I'm glad that you enjoyed it!

Nice..... i would like to know how it should be read so then i could really feel what you felt and this awe you have with yourself for writing it cause im sorry it didnt touch me the way it did you. You really sound like a person trying to find yourself.:) You should fall in love it really helps everything, all thoughts like that. It gives you new things to concentrate on and takes you out of your head a little more. Keep flowing BrokenHearted i hope some day someone comes along and tapes your heart back together Then you can call yourself MendedHeart or something.... coolio poem still

Posted: Aug 26, 2008

Author Comment:

LOL, thanks. Well its not so much finding myself, as it is having other people realize that this is me and I'm not going to change, that I don't want to be someone else. Hmm...its hard to explain how it should be read without voicing it. I mean its a poem, its read how its read, but this girl at my camp has a special way of reading her poems, and so when I wrote this poem I wrote it kind of like that, but yeah. Ha Ha well I would too like to fall in love, but I'm a bit young for it at the moment. But thank you floatLinger:) Your comment is very much appreciated and thank you again:D

Thank you!

:o
goodness! i think i just fell in love! *clutches beating heart* XD this poem is breathtaking zoe. seriously. i'm blown away by this. very deep and dark with a loud cry. i honestly wasn't too fond of the sentence long lines, but you made them work, so it wasn't too distracting. but just watch out for those length lines ^^ otherwise fabulous! keep it up :)

I'm so glad you liked it! I've started writing in a new form (this way), so I'm glad it turned out ok for you. Thanks Alice! And the poem had lengthy lines for a reason. When I was at Hugo House there was a girl who was in a poem group, and she performed her poems in a special way. So it's supposed to be read in a certain way, just hard to show howXD Thanks again Alice! :D

please don't be hurting. :( your emotions are so vivid its just incredible that someone can write this way. people care. if you fall, i fall with you, remember? besides, falling from such a high point can be dangerous;)

Ha Ha you always turn the most serious of things humorous:) Thanks Mathew, I know you care. But that thread can't hold forever can it?
