When the broken girl writes

by Yakari Gabriel   Jun 5, 2013


When the broken girl writes,
she leaves no page blank
she writes it all or nothing at all

she fills that wine cup,
pours it slowly into her soul
and make sure nothing goes unsaid

when the broken girl writes
she does not only birth poetry,
but also heals herself through her words
the world becomes a landscape,
when the broken girl is writing

when the broken girl writes,
her thoughts become a lovesong
her heart an open book, her pain a metaphor

she becomes unstoppable,
nobody can tell her how to write
or what to write,
emotions are as pure as virginity
and as shameful as sin

..and absolutely no one can tell her
she's doing it wrong.

    Yaki, I absolutely loved reading this and feeling the passion every step of the way! I adore the simple repetition and how in each stanza you introduce more ways that this whole "all or nothing" concept defines itself....I so agree with everything you express- you know if we limit ourselves in our writing, only give what we think others will want to hear, then we're not pouring our soul out and portraying all our pain, happiness, emotions...We need to give everything fully because in that way we can reach who we truly are.

    Very inspirational! That last line is so true, there is nothing "wrong" in a way a person writes....even with technical errors, if the author intended it, they did. No one can say they are doing it poorly.
    Love ya :]

    Oh Yaki, did you just reach inside my head and pull out what I was thinking??!
    Of course not, you penned this before I even thought about a rate that I got on a poem, a poem that just took everything out of me to write, that is deeply personal and then without knowing why, was giving a 4, which I know I shouldn't even be cross about or annoyed because to be honest, I think everything I write is crap, so I don't get why it got to me to be honest, anyway, enough rambling...

    I loved this...you're a strong woman, and you write some amazing poetry, and you know it!
