Lost and broken,
Twisted and used.
This is my life,
Worn and consumed.
Begging to feel,
Anything but hurt,
Searching to find,
Whatever may work.
Holding on tight,
To something I'm not sure of.
Not wanting to climb,
Fearing the height.

What don't kill you can only make you stronger...

Such imagery in this one Jess. You know I loved this one. But you aren't broken..or worn...or used. You are a beautiful, caring, incredible person. If the height grows too much...just know that I'll be right beneath you, ready to catch you should you slip and fall.

Great job on this one Jess! I really liked this! Awesome job.

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

NICELY done, Jess.  This poem is VERY powerful in it's simplicity.  I really enjoyed this... the emotions are well written and portrayed.  Awesome work... Just fantastic.

Very simple yet to the point. And the flow was excellent. Short and...hmmm...sweet I suppose, in a different manner. And yet, your words were strong. Well done!
