“Undefined expression”
Pictures I've drawn draw me in, I become one with them
As they are me and mine, a making of my mind
The images of my imagination expressed in several mediums
A multitude of disciplines endlessly creating something within I can read it more easily without the 'endlessly'
to be set free despite myself
How full am I to burst from that which I can’t converse
But to express in less than words something that hurts or doesn't work
A bleeding heart plain to see set in the open
Its beaten beats bring tears to my eyes
As I defy my will to die
Dry your eyes, open your mind
Flow from what cannot be defined.
your thoughts?

I'm by no means a pro of any kind lol , but i do enjoy putting my thoughts on paper in the form of poetry and short lyrical stories. really looking forward to your comments
Hi! I enjoyed reading your poem, I found it to be very musical.
I found the last two lines confusing though. Are you telling yourself that you should dry your eyes, etc., or is this your advice for readers? Maybe you could make it clearer who these last lines are addressed to? (I think I would like it better if it was you talking to yourself.)
