Break Me Down...

by SplitSided   Nov 7, 2011


Broken smiles hide my reflection.
Broken smiles show my direction.
Theres nothing left for me.
There's nothing left to see.
I hate my life, I hate what I've become.
I hate my life, I hate what I've done.
Walking through my memories.
Walking through my dreams.
Smiles that weren't broken.
Dreams that aren't broken.
Hatred is all I feel.
Hatred shows me what is real.
Hatred shows me how to feel.
Hatred for what I've done.
Hatred for what I've become.
Broken smiles are shattered.
Broken smiles are scattered.
I'm broken inside and don't know how.
I hate the broken smile I wear now.
Its become a mask for me.
A mask for everyone to see.
I can't let the world break me again.
I won't let the world see me like this again.
Broken again.
Just like I was then.
Piece me back together again.
Piece myself just like I was then.
Nobody caught me when I fell.
Here I am in my own hell.
Pieces won't go together.
Pieces don't go together.
I've been broken down.
I'm shattered on the ground.
Silence echoes between us.
I've had enough.
I don't want anymore.
It won't piece together like before.
Pieces missing again.
Pieces that were together then.
I'm burning alive.
I'm dying inside.
Shattered for the last time.
Broken pieces are mine.
Your fine again.
Just like you were then.
Death whispers my name.
Death tells me to play its game.
I'm burning alive.
I'm already dead inside.
Your words have been spoken.
I'm left once again, broken.

    The repetition did you a favor here and did not bring your poem down. The rhymes flowed smoothly and I love the simple word choice.

    ---I really love the ending. Though I think this poem should be categorized under sad poems.
    Overall, I love this piece. Keep writing :)

    Wow - this one's intense! I think the repition in this poem was a great idea - It's kind of like a loop in your mind, that plays over and over again - all the errors you've made and the anger you feel towards yourself and life in general, like you're stuck on replay and you can't get past these emotions! It's very sad! I wonder about the category it's under, like maybe you're broken over the mistakes you've made in the past and how because of them you've lost someone you really loved :( Wow, I can definitely relate to that...ugh

    I hate my life, I hate what I've become.
    I hate my life, I hate what I've done.
    Walking through my memories.
    Walking through my dreams.
    Smiles that weren't broken.
    Dreams that aren't broken.
    Hatred is all I feel.
    Hatred shows me what is real.
    Hatred shows me how to feel.

    I really dig that.
    I thought this was an awesome poem - raw and emotional!

    You should start writing again!
