A Sad Poem About Memories Of Past. Growing Up With Disfunction .


Poem Artwork


she owns the kind of beauty that could break easily
with just a slash of the tongue you could render her mute
her skin is made of eggshells and her eyes are pools
if you thing you could memorize her,
you are wrong, go back to school ;
She changes with every turn of the hourglass
she bears it all, keeps it all, remembers all and sings,
only to the stars at night as she lies there, and cries.

Wishing that all the sad ones would find a way to be happy. Sartre wrote, "Hell is other people." Perhaps it is other people who have made her so sad.

Raw and haunting imagery in language that holds astonishing beauty of expression “She changes with every turn of the hourglass” and anguish and maturity, “if you think you could memorize her,”. Gorgeous and tragic both at once. This is stunning, Mystic Rose. ~~ djl

Very often, we are shaped by our childhood into who we will become. Some may break through the mould, but others, unfortunately, stay in it pretty well most of their adult lives and be sorrowful.

Beautifully described, even if a sad, melancholy poem.

Can feel the pain and sorrow in this one, hope if it was your childhood that happiness somewhere along the way overshadowed it to leave only vague memories.
