    Splintered Fragments

    I have no innocent illusions.     I only have deep voids.
                    There’s only delusions  in my head.
    Can you forgive my splintered fragments?     Can you calm my angry voice?
       Distract me with your itellectual intercourse
                         and watch me trip on philosophy like slippery rocks
                                          and then you’ll see me as I really am.
                                                       Lost and Broken.
                         And ,there,you stand,           looking like the answer,
           Wanting to lick my salty tears and bandage my bleeding wounds
    And at my core I tremble,         because all I could think ,    is you already know too much.

    "You already know too much." Yes, and I can see why this could be bad. For me, one of the scariest things about meeting new people is that eventually they are going to discover who I am. That scares me because I don't know if they can accept me after that. This poem reminds me that it's okay to be yourself. A great write. Thank you for sharing. :)

    Oooh, This feels as if it was almost spoken in a whisper or plea...Deep and introspective honesty, laying ones soul bare! The delicate strength of your words is touching. Excellent write fashioned in fragmented lines to illustrate the feeling within!

    To have great poets there must be great audiences too.
