I'm Sorry... I'm Fragile
I'm an unstable wooden boat
On a stormy sea in the night
I'm a plastic bag whirling around
Thrown by the wind
Again and again
I'm an unanswered prayer
Floating in the divide between
Heaven and earth
I'm an unwanted baby
That was almost killed
Before birth
My tears come so quickly
So easily
My crazy fears spark up too fast
But not in the past
I'm a broken piece of a girl
Lost somewhere in this big world
Changing
Evolving
Trying to make sense of this life
Being worn down by headaches and strife
It takes nothing
To knock me off my high
Even if I was happiest I could be
In just a moment I'll cry
Hormones?
Dramatics?
Oh, how I hate my mind!
Jumping to conclusions
Spurring all confusions
And I do it all the time!
What happened to me?
I'm not the same person I was
Only a small year ago
On a stormy sea in the night
I'm a plastic bag whirling around
Thrown by the wind
Again and again
I'm an unanswered prayer
Floating in the divide between
Heaven and earth
I'm an unwanted baby
That was almost killed
Before birth
My tears come so quickly
So easily
My crazy fears spark up too fast
But not in the past
I'm a broken piece of a girl
Lost somewhere in this big world
Changing
Evolving
Trying to make sense of this life
Being worn down by headaches and strife
It takes nothing
To knock me off my high
Even if I was happiest I could be
In just a moment I'll cry
Hormones?
Dramatics?
Oh, how I hate my mind!
Jumping to conclusions
Spurring all confusions
And I do it all the time!
What happened to me?
I'm not the same person I was
Only a small year ago

Oh my oh my. This is just so revealing and I see,I see what you mean. The unwanted baby part that was me and still is even though I'm older your pain is shown through words and with twists and turns. I love it thank you Kitty for an insight with this read.

Kitty i think i saw this in a thread you had posted? If it is, i really like this version.
If it's not the one i'm thinking of, then i still think its one fine poem!

It's not the same poem as anything I've posted on the forums... But I'm glad you enjoyed it! Lol

I agree with TimEros with loving the metaphoric description of this piece. Truly flawless in fluidity...Xo
