My heart is in a thousand pieces
All skattered on the floor
My mind is like a black hole
My thoughts exist no more
My guts are in a tangle
All twisted in a knot
My soul has now been captured
And locked up in a box
My arms and legs are heavy
My eyes choose to stay shut
I struggle to glance at my wrist
And upon I found a cut.

great poem, how about "Broken by the World" for a title?

If it is not broken, then don't fix it. Its a great poem the way it is.

ahh well done.   For the title, how about simply "Shattered". I have one other comment. The last line doesn't work as written.

And upon I found a cut.


It is incomplete this way. I suggest "And there I found a cut." Or "And upon it I found a cut."  The upon doesn't complete the thought and trips up the reader.

Great poem! I'd love to read more of it. I agree with Marilyn about that last line....it does leave it sort of incomplete. But overall it's really good.

Great poem!  I agree with Marilyn though...the last line needs to be fixed...how about "upon which i found a cut" and I liked the title Shattered also!
