broken, shriveled to nothing
(guess you could say: pointless.)
strong, fragile
can we create something beautiful and destroy it?
you know far too well
what it feels like
to be
erased

It's very difficult to portray ideas through such a small amount of words, but you have done this beautifully! I feel like the short length of the poem actually added to the strength of its effect. I really love this! Very good job once again.
