Literature Text

You and I are the same -
made with feet that wander
far from where they'd like us to call home.

And they, the ones that formed us,
are the same that wrench our cross-stitched fingers
as we try to break free.

They stake claim to our fallen limbs
and every browned Autumn-leaving
rustling echoes in our souls.

We'll know our home when we've found him,
the boy they've labeled perfection,
but we'll see all the cracks in each of his tired-bones.

We'll nestle in every crook, filling the hollow,
and conceive a whispering whistle
of a swansong.

I know this was only published a day ago, but I cannot believe it does not possess higher statistics! Your descriptions were beautifully constructed with such raw emotion! I really liked how, when read, it told a story with each line and phrase. It was very interesting to watch it all unfold. I really liked the ending, too! Oh heck: the whole thing was really inspiring and so unique! It maintained strength throughout, and that is something I don't always see happen; I was pleased to see it in this poem!
Fantastic job! It was a pleasure to read (:
