Mistakes

Mistakes


Across outward suffering
Lives within a capsule
Righteous overload
Breaching inside
Stars where agony draws
Red from blue blood
And doesn't give back
The pain
Killer smile to hide to
Grimace

Author Note:I wrote this one as a challenge. I wrote one poem and then cut out the lines and rearranged them into another poem. I liked the second one way more than the first one so its the one I kept. Its a good tool if you think your poems may be too literal. (David Bowie used to write his songs in the same manner.)
