Crumpled!
crumbled!
step in...step out
you force to open my mouth
and shoot that thing.
My place they hide
away from the sun and light
they keep me in the dark
so no one can trace a mark.
they covered me with pretensions so no one knows-
what's inside beneath the bottom line.
I can be your Shock Absorber
when you're feelin' blue and the world seems so unfair
throw me your crumbled tissue I understand.
I can protect you when you broke something
throw that pieces in me. Be brave young man!
tie your worries.
throw your dark secrets with me.
Let it be forever sealed.
Burnt it with me.
Sincerely yours....TRASH BIN
well, it was not UNTIL i read the VERY WELCOME Poet's Notes and looked up pretension that i reread the poem and finally got a little laugh! i'm out of time here for a few hours at least, but i plan to return to this. but let me give you this to think about. before i really understood what this was about, i wondered if there was a sexual reference in the fist stanza! i guess NOT! i'll send this to MyPoemList and get back to it someday....soon i hope. and it should fit well (with your Poet's Notes) in November's showcase. thanks, bri :)
