Demolished
March 24, 2013
The life of many is also the life of plenty. The life of few is also the life of you. Your life feels empty. Your life feels demolished. You, feel demolished. But you are not, yet you should be. When you are destroyed nothing is left and when nothing is left, God comes rushing in. When you fall apart, don't go rushing to pick up the pieces. When you fall apart you open up. When you open up you can be filled. You can be filled with the world or with God. If you get filled with the world, you will fall apart, again.

For some odd reason, the "Falling apart makes you open up" part makes me think of bread bowls XD Probs cuz I had two at Disney yesterday.... So good... Your poem! Right! You have some good thoughts going in this. I would like to see some imagery cuz that will really propel what you're saying. In the words of Emily Dickinson, tell the truth but tell it slant, and if you say the truth straight out, it may be too bright for someone to want to look at. An image warms them up to it. Like the boiling a frog idiom. The linking with words in this is good. It reminds me of "Add to (something) brotherly love, and to brotherly love, hope (I think is the next one?)" verse in the Bible.

This is really great. It describes emotion, and breaking down almost as a cycle that gives us growth but also causes pain, like a natural maturing event.
