Broken Innocence - Comments

I actually really enjoyed this. I don't read much poetry, and for a while I couldn't get into it at all. I thought it was pointless for me, I could never connect, but as my life has changed so have I. I have started to seek out poetry lately, here in then, then and far, and I am pleasantly surprised that I was able to find something that spoke to me here on Mibba, something that really hasn't before.

Maybe it's because I can see myself in your words, at least partly. I can relate, which is something I haven't been able to do to much. But maybes aren't what I came here to comment about. I wanted to say thank you, and I enjoyed your words and what they invoked in me, particularly this:
"And just like that, her innocence was ripped away-
From every curse word she memorized,
To every window she broke.
From every threat she was threatened,
To every cigarette she smoked,
Her life was full of trouble that she could run from, but couldn't hide."

It was my favorite part o the poem.

So, ciao and thanks.

PS, I didn't think it was wordy and you did amazing for your seconded time free-versing.

wow. this is... very intense. and emotional. I can relate to the first half.. until you get to the smoking. but, I have divorced parents too and well yeah. if you EVER need to talk, shoot me a message. I'll listen.
and I write poetry too. I haven't put a whole lot on here yet, but.. I have a poem I'll put up soon that you should check out. it's gotta do with how effed up my parents divorce made me.
anyway, wonderful poem. your freestyle writing is amazing.
