Silent Symphony

In the depths of my being, there resides an relentless craving, a repulsive need to surpass the shackles of humanity. A siren song beckoning me to shed the trappings of mortality. So I continue on, fueled by this repulsive need to be something more than human. To transcend, to evolve, to become a force of nature, And in doing so, to claim my place among the stars.

Dear Nicole, The opening line with "relentless craving" instantly hooked me, hinting at a desire beyond the ordinary. Your imagery of "shedding the trappings of mortality" is striking, suggesting a willingness to challenge boundaries. The repeated theme of "transcend, evolve" creates a powerful call to action, highlighting the pursuit of something extraordinary. Your poem leaves a question unanswered: what awaits beyond. Will her ambition be embraced or lead to unforeseen consequences? - Daniel

Hello Daniel! I’m glad you enjoyed my poem. The uncertainty of what awaits beyond and the potential consequences of ambition are central to the introspective nature of the work, and I'm ecstatic to see that these aspects resonated with you.
