Breaking Me

A poem I wrote not long ago that I am submitting to the help.com talent show http://help.com/post/223971-helpcom-t...

Feel free to give feedback :D

I hate that you can twist me,
Around your little finger.
I’ll bend to your will,
I’ll break my bones for you.
I’m wading through an army,
Everyones trying to kill me.
And even though my shields down,
People only succeed in hurting me.
I wish you didn’t send the bullets,
I wish someone would stand strong and protect me,
Like I do for so many others,
There is only so much of me,
To go around.
So please stop shooting,
Stop trying to break me,
Because you do,
And then when I heal,
You push me back down.
I am vulnerable to your words,
And the forces of hate from the world.
I reach my hand up to the sky,
And people take it,
But before they pull me up,
I am dropped,
As if I am too hot,
Too cold.
I am neither an attacker of others,
Nor a defender of myself,
Can I really defend you,
When I cannot defend me.
By Pollyanna

I have to say that I love this poem so much! I feel like I really connect with it and I feel for you. Oh Polly…I bet you are that person who gives and gives and doesn’t get in return, gets walked on, but deserves the world to worship her.

Thank you :) I am quite proud of this…I’m glad you can get a sense of it :) Yes, I do give alot…And I guess I don’t get much in return…But i definatley don’t deserve the world to worship me. I have many faults and people see those and take advantage.
