NOTE: I don't like this poem because of the inconsistancy with the style. Maybe I shouldn't be telling you this but hey...i'm honest. The style in the first stanza is a bit different from the other 2 stanzas.......I would change it but I don't believe in changing my pieces once i've claimed they were done at that moment. So this is how it stays.


Shattered Basis:


A scribbled up life.
A torn up soul.
Where do I begin?
How do I start my quest
To piece my puzzle
Back together again?

I commence my decay.
My skin melts onto the floor.
Growing weary,
Exausted.
Breathing harder,
Panting.

Fighting for every breath.
Gasping for air,
For life,
And giving up everything I stood for.




I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them!

nice poem hector
one question:
is growing into even more decay, and melting onto the floor really way good way to commence piecing the puzzle togehter again?

by the way, you really should consider posting a poem in the critical analysis forum.

  Hey. Yeah... The style was a bit crazy, but it still worked!! It made me think. Again. And again. So yeah. Great job.

I say it just

ok now Dopes, how can you piece your puzzle back if you're ready to give up.  Keep going, that's all i can say.  By the way, I didn't see anything wrong with the poem at all. keep sharing
