[bodytext] => The child's body is draped in vapour
Grown from years of sleeping fury.
The child's heart is wrapped in steel
Born of years of stings kept in the dark.
The child's ears are blissful and deaf
Stoned by arguments that yield no end.
The child's soul is battered to a dross
Bound by duties to flesh and blood gone wrong.
The child's veins threaten to erupt
Strained by witnessing too many flaws in her idols.
The child's eyes are hollow and dull
Drawn from a well whose contents
Became arid many, many moons ago.
In the distance the echo of a bitter laugh is heard...
Funny...funny how that child
looks so much like me.

A very sad reality to what goes on some lives, you wrote this well, it sent forth clear vivd images, which left me reeling.
So much emotion, wrapped in a cloak of darkness, beautifully written, I liked. |

this is odd I come on a poetry site and I actually FIND poetry. Wow this was awesome very poetically brilliant. I liked the little twist at the end. I liked how u said the child's body is draped in vapour that was neat and adds a note of confusion and sort of desperation to the air.

AV, I am so sorry your childhood was not filled with joy and love and laughter. But it did accomplish creating an artist for the world. You are able to look inside and bring out the best of yourself. Love can be found in more places than home.
Smiles and hugs,
Rita |

Very sad, touching, strong write even tho sad.
I realized when my fist grand child was born that babies come into this world with all goodness and knowledge fresh from heaven. They are corrupted by the world.
good work, friend.
luv, huggs, smiles,
