Array ( [sid] => 160251 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Paper Prisms [time] => 2010-05-30 12:11:53 [hometext] => I suck at poetry but I was frustrated and depressed and couldn't face pushing out another few hundred words of prose. So I wrote this in five minutes off the top of my head. Enjoy [bodytext] => Sometimes,
I spend hours just lying on the floor,
Watching the sky change from baby blue
To paper white.
I feel like paper,
paper getting torn apart by
the wind and then beaten
into a pulp by the rain.
I wish God had made me a paper person,
Paper can't feel and I feel too much.
When I'm alone my head pounds
With the emotions thumping against my skull.
Wouldn't it be nice to be a paper doll
Within a line of other paper dolls? Then
I would never be alone and always
Have a hand to hold.
But they think I'm already like a paper doll;
Uninteresting,
Cold,
Blank.
No, definitely not a paper doll.
Glass; I'm more like glass.
A prism with too many sides to count,
Some of them ugly
But I reflect rainbows anyway.

You don't suck at writing poems. In fact your really, really good at writing. I can completely understand the struggle in this poem. Just the other day I was wishing I was a statue, and unable to feel anything. This truly was an amazing poem. I hope you decide to write more.

Dearest, I have to agree with all the other comments. . . that your words definitely set you apart as a poet & an individual, searching, reaching, feeling & finally settling into that glimmer of hope that sustains us, one & all. Beautifully done. Welcome!! elle :)

I thought you said you sucked at poetry. Sorry, but I must disagree. I really like this, especially considering you wrote it in five minutes. With your imagination, I think you'd get bored after a while being a paper doll in a line with other paper dolls. They can't write like this and just stand around a lot.

Thank you for an enjoyable read and Smile!

Smile!

to YPDC.
