This Flesh A Tomb

by dollwithafrown   Apr 30, 2007


I'm trapped in a world where no one knows me
Where I'm isolated and afraid
Nobody calls when those tears envelope my cheeks
Not a single soul comes to my aid

I'd love to be a different person
Someone of whom I don't know
A person who takes pride in who they are
Somebody who knows how to grow

Instead here I am, stuck like a brick
Enclosed in the most solid wall
I have nowhere to go, I can't even move
I'm not even allowed to fall

This delicate skin is scarred so much
That it's beyond recognition
Ripping at the flesh has become my world
So strong, a never-ending addiction

I feel like I'm in a solid box
A tomb right beneath the ground
When alive I'm alone, and in death I'll be too
Unless this dark tomb is found

    So scary and you really created an image
    Flow keeps you going and the topic was eliminated
    Well done

    THis poem had a great flow to it. But it's not as good as your other one "Meet Your Master" but close. Again speechless! 5/5

    Strong until the ending stanza, I do believe. But, that was not bad anyways.

    I loved the odd syllables and the rhming; the message was strong and beautiful as well.

    The only thing I can complain about is punctuation; I complain about it to everyone, though, so no worries. It just really helps the flow. =]

    This is a bit different, the feelings aren't... but I don't think I've ever seen someone write it down. You did a great job with it! The flow was a bit shaky here and there, but nothing that messes the poem up. The rhyming was good, along with the feelings given.
    You did a great job with it.
