Shattered Girl

You shattered my world I was a sweet innocent girl Thought my future was solid gold Then you flushed my heart bitter cold Went from a flow chart to a volcanic eruption Minutes, days, weeks, it'll eventually even out. One mans laziness caused another mans corruption When foundation crumbles You constantly stumble Balancing on floating ice Pray for a solid double on those dice Teased a lot by a half roll, There's just so much I can't control There's nothing more powerful than not being scared Skepticism I've grown close to, a friendship hard to bear Think of a million possibilities with each choice There's always going to be that internal voice Why make it so hard? One mans laziness is another mans corruption That someone else will take care of me, I'll never jump to that assumption Gets harder and harder, Then easier and easier Harder and harder Then easier and easier All that matters is how I spend my time now What I do now will help my future somehow Where will I be in five years? Have no idea Asked me that a lot when I was younger, Always had an answer But back then I was just a kid Love, what's love your asked? You lectured so many times I'll put it on repeat along side a laugh track Love is opposite you It's opposite everything you do Trying to deal with real love That's truly far and above Anything you can comprehend. You taught me the greatest in life Concentrate on the good, Keep your head up with pride Conquer the madness by ignoring it Do positive things to destroy it

Ok I have returned. This poem is complex, even as I read it again, it's hard to comment. I see some clear imagery mixed with more vivid imagery. There is a certain tragedy, followed by emotional triumph. It's really almost like an epic. It's very hard to conquer the madness. I really enjoyed this poem again. Thanks for sharing.
