SHATTER SHADOWS DRIVEN BY THE LIGHT OF FAITH, SPOKEN WORDS SHATTER LIKE BROKEN PLATES; TWENTY PIECES TO A DOZEN, EACH WITH A DIFFERENT FEELING, WORDS INTERPRETED AS DIFFERENT MEANINGS; WHY DIDYOU SAY IT? I DIDN'T MEAN TO, BUT YOU DID? SO I DID, SO WHAT? GET OUT; UNSAID SAID, SPOKEN, UNSPOKEN, A NAIL ON THE HEAD, HAMMER AWAY, MERCILESSLY, BUT IT COULD BE YOU, STANDING THERE SHAKEN- BROKEN; 2 SIDES TO A COIN, HEADS OR TAILS, 6 SIDES TO A DICE, 1, 3, OR 5? THROW IT AWAY BEHIND YOUR BACK, IT MIGHT HIT AND CRACK, OR SHATTER PLATES, WORDS MIGHT SHATTER, SOMEONES FAITH. ***************
Reason for writing:
So many things are said unthinkingly everyday. So many feelings are hurt, hopes are crushed, hearts are broken.
I wrote this poem during one of these phases, I was feeling pretty cynical that time, I guess it shows in the poem.
