Wild like the wind,
a spirit so free,
there were nothing in this world
that you couldn’t be.

But sorrow came along
and stole your will away,
trapped in pain’s jaws
you couldn’t find your way.

A spirit once truthful,
a spirit once fair,
brutally murdered
by the need to not care.

A spirit broken, bleeding on the floor,
a spirit that was, but isn’t anymore.

I think this poem is very well written. I liked it a lot. The message, the ryhme scheme, and just the whole poem in general.



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

Not only the structure of this poem is great..but the ATMOSPHERE..which your rhyming creates..the end two lines are so sad though...
Keep posting TearsOfPearls..

And forcing our darkest souls to unfold...
And pushing us into self-destruction...."

Thanks Dopey and Lani. I myself feel this is one of my better poems, worth calling poem.

You can say I kinda wrote it about a friend, but not totally about her, after she slit her wrists. It's about suicide, but killing the inner you.

Once again, thanks!
