Tarnished Soul

by FlawlesslyTarnished   Jul 1, 2008


This life so insignificant; every action without consequence
A dominant cold heart, with cruelties so intense
Belittles every being, leaves them lying on the ground
While her hopes have been shattered, a new life she has found

A darkened mind; with sinful thoughts
Cunning and scheming these evil plots
A tainted soul; with lies upon lies
Along with a heart, broken; concealed in it's demise

Each tear that's been shed, kills a little more
Her insides slowly dying, starting from the core
Her indifference prevails; her body grows numb
She can hardly acknowledge, this person she's become

Once pure, now corrupt; innocent, now disgrace
Her life takes a turn, and falls out of place
Unpredictably chaotic tragedies, spiraling out of control
And the effect of all these complications: a flawlessly tarnished soul

--I know the lines are uneven, but I'm pretty sure the read was good.

    that stanza did it for me. it was great. flawless. i think those lines really brought out the poem, and perhaps it's meaning. you did an excellent job on this one, keep it up. 5/5.

    Isnt it sad what experiences in life can turn us into? I really felt this poem, because it hits close to home for me. I've done things that I am not proud of because I've let my soul become tarnished over the years. You wrote this very well and it expressed the tragedy of how one can become corrupt by life.

    Maybe.. but the read is good. so it doesn't really matter. the descriptions are just so strong.. and very well written, that you don't even notice the lines are uneven..

    wonderful writing.. keep going
