Hi, shady, a few notes:
(11 hours ago)shady Wrote: the fallacy of boyhoodJust some thoughts on my read. Thanks for posting, please don't forget to leave some feedback for others.
a starting line with no end
when will you grow into your height?
when your knees hit your chest and your tears leave your eyes You might consider a break after chest
you shrink smaller
soften a bit
yet your solid outside remains "solid outside" is a bit awkward, I know you use shell below but still you might find another way to put this.
a hard-boiled egg--
shell on
i can not crack you open
not that i even want to Here's the first time N seems to be lying to themselves
i held you gently even as you dragged me down
i sung in your ear as you mangled my sence of reality Sang? Sense
you are magical--
a miraculous success it was
how well you did Was and did are both weak to use on a break, you might want to rearrange this.
not only did you unwind the yarn
but you pulled at the fibers Strong two lines.
absolutely destroyed it
until it was unrecognizable
i am unrecognizable I like the switch from "it" to 'I' here.
the woman i am today
little me
yes, little me
i grow taller
and i hope you don't grow cold in my shadow Strong line
but still, i have enough God in my heart that i'd wish warmth for you For me the second lie, I think you may be able to cut this line and change "and" to "but" on the nest line. If you keep it, either I wish or I should wish.
and i remember the warmth i owe you everytime i say:
...forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us
because in the end
its your faults, my anger, your shame, my bitterness
and it kills
it kills
it kills.
