Something Missing (Minute Poem)

by Sylvia   Nov 15, 2008


There is something missing in me.
I am not free,
chains bind my heart.
When did it start?

Sadness, overwhelming my soul.
I am not whole,
shattered, broken.
Words unspoken.

The silence is so deafening.
Days reckoning,
is very near.
Then I will hear.

    It's a sad story and well put. I enjoyed the read that is for sure.

    I felt that there wasn't much that could be improved, perhaps the bottom. You always explain yourself..I know that a lot of people know what the poems are, but I can see why you put a description of what the poem is.

    I don't really feel that there is anything else that I would like to say other than. You did an amazing job and that you should continue to challenge yourself.

    P.S. thanks for the comments and vote :D
