I ran my finger over the chipped wall and a few flecks fell down
         through my hair thinking about the sight of my
                 wandering life as it's been so far
                 scars
                 and tears running through me
subterranean rivers nobody ever knew about because I thought
                    everybody would hate me for them
                              ignore whatever it is
             that I really am
                  couldn't become because I broke it
                                  so early on
                  believe the world could lose its innocence
at dawn a new day would come and I'd become someone else
              blossom like a new butterfly
                      wings gesticulating across minds
                      fluttering thoughts and aspirations
                      out in the open and
                          naked
finally an adult and responsible like one.
        imprisoned by obligation.
                   ghosts that spasm every now and then.
                   that terrify with their vividness.
                        bring me to my feet.
                                 maturity.

This is really good, the set up you have for your poems is really quite interesting and adds a new level to them. Your writing is unique and different, and I love it.
