Fragile

by tainted melody   Apr 24, 2012


Innocent, with little knowlege.
Her view on life naive.
Making choices without fear.
Hoping youth will never leave.

She smiles at the smallest thing.
Tears, few and far between.
She giggles from pure joy.
And darkness goes unseen.

But with age came tragedy.
Reality stole her smile.
What she needed was a shield.
For she was weak and fragile.

This path all will travel.
From blissful youth to maturity.
From the comfort of not knowing.
To a life without security.

    I love this poem! It helps us realise that youth is a gift not a curse and that sooner or later reality will catch up with us so we must enjoy our lives and cherish ever waking moment even the hard times and the pain we suffer. 5/5

    I thought this was a great poem, how you described going from youth to old age and being fragile. I liked the stanzza "but with age came tragedy, reality stole her smile, what she needed was a shield, for she was weak and fragile." It seems like the person aged but tragedy happened and she not only was weak physically but emotionally as well. I like the comparison. Nice job with this one!

    I thought this was a great poem. Really expressed a lot of emotion of a girl whose life seemed quite well until reality kicked in. Just so you know 2 little typos. giggles instead of siggles. And view instead of veiw. All in all a great write. :)
