The Metaphors of my Heart

by Jaded Serenity   May 17, 2007


Wild tigers, ocean waves, unbreakable walls
all these metaphors used to describe the
feelings that live inside of my heart
how many times have i used them?
all of my pain poured into these lyrical words
i replaced my blade with these words
but the desire is not gone
i bleed through my poems
can't you see the blood?
it drips all the down into my soul
but i still live, my heart still s beats,
my legs still walk, my lungs take in air

Can't you see the metaphors of my heart?
Can't you see the dripping blood?

    I have to say i enjoyed this poem. Some may call it "cliche" as its about self harm. Yet i loved it. It was really unique. I love this entire idea of this metaphor. And your words are so meaningful. The title of the poem caught my attention. A metraphor of your heart? It made me think and i wondered what the poem was about. Then you opened the poem with ironically metaphors which describe how your feeling. The fouth line you kinda change direction of the poem. And you ask a question. Your asking yourself this question. But just by adding that you really add deapth to the poem. You sue alliteration with; "pain poured" this acctually creates an image of soemthing being poured but its pain. Its only then you talk about self harm. This is what i liek about this. The poem had a good flow and was quite enjoyable. To improve it i suggest you use a more varied punctuation as this will help the reader read the poem the way you want it to be read. But still keep it up! xx
