Rebuilding Me by Timothy James Foley Wednesday, April 16, 2003 Share Print Save Become a Fan
I pick up the pieces and I... BURN. I pick up the pieces and I burn. I die and I rebuild it over again. I DIE. I sting and I flee from the pain. I run until my lungs bleed. I scream until I throw myself apart. And collect the pieces into a bent frame I do again. Again and again I program this reality. Something beautiful. Distorted and torn apart. Collect my memories of easier times and wonder what I really will be like. Just pick me up again and walk me home, I'll be okay. I'm picking up the pieces and the fire's dying down. Alone I fell apart and rebuilt myself together again.

Interesting from Tim. How sadly true that many of us live life as you describe. We rebuild ourselves over and over so we can fall off track and into little pieces again. To bad we can never ride the train instead of the train wreck. Wonderflu write. Drkman

ok...I am not trying to be funny....but I see an irony here....what you described in your poem, reminds me of what my son told me he went thru in marine boot camp...breaking down the old....to a NOTHING...then building from scratch.....lots of pain inbetween...self doubts, and kicking yourself for joining....but in the end...a build up to a new person and I think thru poetry people can do that too....... This is a good poem keep writing its such a gift...we can give ourselves and when we share it with others its a blanket of trust! pax Anita ps I almost bought a house in Ringwood once!
