Medusa

[Auzel]

Im still new to poetry I've only done it a few times before so try not to be to critical



Every time I see myself I grow colder
Flicker of my eye
Might turn me to stone
Can't help that I may be Medusa
But Im to scared to ever let myself know

Blindfolds, and tin hats
Protect me from myself
Can't let me see myself
Can't let me read my mind
I've let myself believe that I am losing time

I want to see the world
But Im blind to my own intrigue
Fortifying my belief
That Ill soon be broken
If I let the personal bleed out of me

I see the world break down itself
I see the man cut his own strings
And I see that the same path is destine for me

Hi Auzel - don't know how I missed this one. Very evocative writing, I lived these lines :


Flicker of my eye
Might turn me to stone



Can't let me see myself
Can't let me read my mind
I've let myself believe that I am losing time



see the world break down itself
I see the man cut his own strings
And I see that the same path is destine for me

Couple of little typo's in there; Im should be I'm, Ill should be I'll, and destine (in the last line above) should be destined, I think.

Nice poem, though perhaps for the subject matter nice isn't the right word! Enjoyed it, that's better; I look forward to seeing more.
