Shattered
Shards of me strewn across the floor
Glue barely binding,
Barely holding
The pieces of me
t o g e t h e r.
Bursting
Voices scream at me at once
Words barely registering,
Barely echoing
Through the recesses of me
r h y t h m i c a l l y.
Splintering
Negativity boring deeper inside me
Logic barely remaining,
Barely sustaining
The harsh blows administered
c o n s t a n t l y.
Breaking
Pain flooding to every corner
Sanity barely escaping,
Barely shaking
Thousands of splinters of self-hate
o b e d i e n t l y.
Imploding
Nervous thoughts consuming my consciousness
Body barely standing,
Barely balancing
Overwhelmingly needing you I'm
s h a t t e r e d.

Wowsers, Bel. You're one of my favourite poets in here and this why! Your pieces speak to the readers and really clue them in.

It's an amazing write and like the others, it's going to the library.

Thanks so much for posting. Keep sharing.

Bel, this poem was awesome.  I loved the repitition.  Each time a word was repeated, it got stronger, adding much more effect to the poem in general.  I think, however, that this is one of those poems that is screaming for HTML effects.  I think some of these words came off as more of a whisper in my mind, more of a scowling plea.  Try italicizing, and maybe centering the piece for even more power.

I love what you have here.  The effects are amazing.  The desperate voice you portray throughout almost brings out every emotion in me.. making me angry, sympathetic.. nicely done!  I really enjoyed this.

Can't wait to see more...

Sometimes, the things that go unsaid are the only things worth hearing.

Isabel ---  I would've not known you where in such a situation
You seem so lively everytime we talk
I just hope you win against your inner battles
And finally be happy
Talk to me anytime you see me online
thanks for the read
