Concrete angel

by she   Jun 1, 2008


Concrete angel
Stand tall
don't ever let another break you
Concrete angel
With a smile set in stone
No matter the pain inside you hold
Concrete angel
Your tears with no way to escape
Begin to make you tremble
Begin to make you shake
Concrete angel
Cracks in your beautiful stone face
Grow more with each passing day
Concrete angel
Never thought this would become
Never thought Id see you break
Concrete angel in pieces before my feet
Never could tell me why you did fall

    First off, I have one suggestion: You disturbed great flow of the piece at the end because you repeated the word 'break". Maybe you can replace 'break' in the last line with some synonym, it would sound better. For example: "Never could tell me why you did fall" or "why you did shatter".

    Overall, I enjoyed in this write. I like the imagery and atmosphere that you created, they excellently portray touching emotions which flow through every line. When I read this for the first time I thought that the repetition of the "Concrete angel" was a bit overwhelming for the poem itself but then I reread the whole piece and I found it really nice. I like the metaphor of concrete angel, too.
