Cocoon

Shattered,

many pieces

left to pick up,

a mirror

of broken lives,

a pile of failures

left to get cut on,

blood dripping

from the wound,

deep inside

bits and pieces

remain, some removed,

surgery did its best

given the circumstances

but the pain is immense,

the persistent thrombing,

longing to be somewhere

else, the body a tomb

not yet finished, more

sacrifices to be made,

until it is ready

to be reborn and molted

out of that cocoon,

transformed into something

else, what it could not be in

life it is in death.

Any suggestions on how I can make this work better?
