My image is a facade of life's dilemma's. Typo "dilemmas" (no apostrophe). also, I think when you say "facade" you mean something like "reflection" where, rather than being a fake "life's dilemma," you are showing "life's dilemma" in your "image."
People see the outside without wondering
what's within.
Nobody sees the gaping wound in my chest,
split open as if one had opened a sealed box with a blade. this simile is very case specific. maybe more graphic imagery would be more effective.
It still beats with the usual thump, thump, thump,
but bleeds so slowly as if it were a balloon losing air over time. this phrase is a little awkward. Imagery is good, but I feel that the odd grammar distracts from the purpose.
The patches have been placed with care but drips of rich
red blood drip, drip, drip as the bandages wear.
As time passes the wound becomes massive, good!
the red droplets start to flow as if it were a winding river.
Still, I stand my ground and wonder. Will you save me or wait until it's too late?
This is pretty good, but i think your imagery needs to be a bit more fleshed out.
