Wind Shield Wipers

Submitted by juliar on Tue, 03/12/2013 - 8:19pm

I bite my lip till it bleeds

The microscopic cells, my brains main feed

I can feel my broken heart retracting

My low confidence very distracting

The publics eye raw with discontent

Seeing my face whiten as I relent 

My toes cringe with goose bumps

As my veins feed of the blood my heart constantly pumps

It seems as if there are loose cables inside me waiting to be reconnected

Expecting the unexpected

I see my eyes close ever so slightly

But griping tightly

The long lashes acting as wind shield wipers

wiping the tears away, each wipe a little riper

...I bite my nail until it breaks

So much life at stake.

Gooood one. I like all of the little images that are connected but they come at you so quick... you get your face, down to your toes, back to your heart, and then you come full circle to the nervous chewing... which I also do... I really liked this one, nice work!

If you want to view paradise, simply look around, and you will. Anything you want to... do it. Want to change the world? There's nothing to it.
