Array ( [sid] => 99153 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Shattered [time] => 2005-06-23 23:36:35 [hometext] => This poem was written as an Artist Statement to complement my Secret Self Assignment April 2005. Please leave me feedback, you comments are mostly appreciated [bodytext] => Why do we feel the way that we do?
And why do we cry or feel hate?
The emotions i've delt with have shocked me to bits
And made me feel so unsafe

In less than one second what i knew of life
Was smashed and shattered and torn
My heart and my soul remain tarnished forever
Because things cannot be like before

The more i get hurt the more cautious i get
As more of lifes lessons are learn't
And it remains countless just how many times
I feel as though i've been burnt

Due to this everything viewed through my eyes
Will never be viewed the same way
Because even though i get stronger each day
The feeling of shattered will stay.

Good right girl life is a struggle and the lessons we learn or the pains that we feel can never be taken back.

In less than one second what I knew of life
Was smashed and shattered and torn
My heart and my soul remain tarnished forever
Because things cannot be like before

Very true statement we have times that hurt and we wish we could take them back but we never can. It was nice to talk to you last night and I’ll do my best to read some of your work well I’m on leave. Take care my new friend, your friend….Steve

great style of wording; i like how pretty much anyone can relate to this in one way or another from the way you've written it

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
