New Me?

[Absinthe]

with each passing breath
i fade a little bit more
bending and blending
into the woodwork
contorting and curling
from the inside out
into a feral, fetal position

with each second ticking by
like lightyears on the face of a clock
i shatter piece by piece
the world watches in amazement
as my ball drops

[Ten]

there goes the outer shell

[Nine. . .
Eight. . .
Seven]

cutting deeper now

[Six. . .
Five]

disintegrating quickly

[Four. . .
Three]

raw and bleeding

[Two]

metamorphosis

[One]

so this is the new me?

[Cullen]

I really really like the countdown effect, its cool.
When reading it, I begin to look forward to the new year, was that something you were trying to symbolize with the ball dropping, or am i just crazy?

[Absinthe]

No, you aren't crazy. I was actually listening to the song "New Year" by Death Cab for Cutie while writing this. I must admit, I took little hints of inspiration from it.

I really like this poem. It is beautifully written and I love the countdown effect in it. When it ended I was all like awww, it's over. Nice Job. I like it alot.
