Enigma writing?

    Yo....someone told me my poems are confusing and for the most part they don't give a clear indication of what they're about. So, i'll post one in here and see if any of you guys, my fellow bards can tell me what i was thinking about. Ta .

    WHOLENESS

    To be breathing
    for a reason to continue
    to others looking
    impressing the need upon to dazzle
    show them them and
    what the ask for wordless

    to be parting
    such a cage as others desire
    burning as you walk the wire
    let it go as it does flow
    breadcrumbs to hidden pains
    lines of truth you form again

    Wow, that's more confusing that Jesus' parables.

    I understood the first stanza as peer pressure, and a need to impress others, for others sake.

    Second stanza: peer pressure is thrown out the window and the person becomes him/herself again, thus coming out of the cage as others desire. burning as you walk the wire, would be being criticized for daring to be different.
    the thruth you form again, would be when one becomes him/herself again,and stop being someone others want you to be.

    Well that is the best I can make of this poem. I can't wait for your interpretation.

    Nice one Dave, it's about my mate who tends to cut herself because of the pressure she feels from other peoples expectations of her to succeed.

    But yeah....bold effort.
