Girl, In Pieces

by The Queen of Spades   Apr 26, 2007


She's a paradox
a perfect balance between everything
and nothing
everything she wants
and everything she needs
is everything she has
and everything she can't get
she wants to spread her wings
get away from this place
but she doesn't want to leave
she wants to be a scientist
she wants to be an artist
she loves to sing infront of others
but she's too afraid to make them hear
she longs to share her thoughts with you
yet she hides them away
she wants to be free
but she holds herself down
how does she make sense?
how are you supposed to understand,
when she can't?

    The beginning is very strong and the end is stronger... you lost me a little in the middle in these lines

    "she wants to spread her wings
    get away from this place
    but she doesn't want to leave" i

    its a little cliche

    "she wants to be a scientist
    she wants to be an artist"

    this i just dont see as necessary to the poem...

    however... all around it was still an enjoyable read i loved theselines "She's a paradox
    a perfect balance between everything
    and nothing"

    and this one which is oh my gosh just the perfect ending "how are you supposed to understand,
    when she can't? "

    also i love the whole idea of this poem :D

  • Your poems get better as I go.. This one was the best so far. VERY powerful. Strong message. Makes you think. You're a pretty good writer, keep it up. I really liked this part.

    "she wants to spread her wings
    get away from this place"

    and....

    "she wants to be free
    but she holds herself down
    how does she make sense?"

    It is so true.. Great work, keep it up. 5/5
