Break Me Off And Melt My Insecurity

by Richard   May 11, 2006


My life is based upon
pleasing and placation.
I'm not sure about succeeding
or defeating my issues.

What you see of me,
is only the surface.
Like an iceberg,
your blind to whats underneath.

My doubt controls my life,
the way I feel about myself,
kills the words, and compliments.
It's the little things that matter.

Experimenting with love,
I only allow one body,
one mind, one soul.
I hope this isn't a mistake.

So break me off,
Ill start a new life.
Everything that was,
will now never be.

Melt my insecurity,
make me feel alive again.
Control me, console me,
save me from myself.

    Wow- I liked this. It had a very jarred and discordant feel which added such passion to the words. I like the way ideas about melting and the iceberg were linked. You always use such orginal ideas in your poetry that keeps it interesting. Could even be a song?
