X Shadow

by Sole   Jul 21, 2006


Size 16 to 8
Didn't take long
She just couldn't wait
Though she knows it's wrong

See her bones
Show through her skin
She's not alone
But she won't let me in

I reach out my hand
But she resists
There's nothing grand
About slitting your wrists

There's nothing clever
In your happiness' theft
Though I endeavour
A shadow's all thats left.

    Has a very emotional message and it pertains to something that is taken seriously. The rhyming made it sound so much like a song and I could definitely imagine this in a song. Could job 5/5

    I was confused when I read the first line, then I kept reading on, and I guess I figured out what it meant. Does it have something to do with the size of the shadow? Hmm, well yeah it was a bit confusing, but still a good poem.

    I dunno if i liked this poem, it seemed really wierd and i couldnt follow it, it started about an eating disorder and then went to self-harm and i dunno what was meant by this poem.
    it flowed well though, and to you, it prob makes sense.
    x Love Tara-Kay

    I like this a lot. It seemed to start off like quite a few other cutting/eating disorder poems I've read, but the ending was so powerful! The last stanza really just made the whole poem in my opinion. Nice work!
