    Strikingly Odd

     Ripped open my chest
    Broke through that cage
    Tasted the air
    As it flew through my lungs
    Such pain is this
    My aching abode
    The stomach was churning
    Holding back the butterflies
    Keeping them encaged
    Looked about
    For a bloody heart
    Found nothing
    An empty spot
    With empty tubes
    Muscles contracting
    Or so they say
    Long worms of insides
    Lay up in a pile
    The butterflies
    Still trying to get out
    Insignificant face of mine
    My wonderful and me

    Throat was slit
    It all churned out
    Squirting, spraying
    All over the rounds
    I am not crazy
    At least they tell me I'm not
    The voices
    But the irresistable urge
    To kill
    To slaughter
    To exterminate
    I almost gave in
    To capitulate
    Goodbye
    Worthless life of mine
    Greet the year
    With an incessant bang

    I not sure if I can explain this right, your poetry has so much expression and life with so much darkness and metaphore at the same time. It is not up beat, but has an up beat feeling. Anyways that is probably all wrong:)

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
