DIVORCE

DIVORCE
defined as a seperation between two people
defined yet so undefined
because no definition is as real as reality

words fly like sharp blades ripping into hearts
as beats decrease decrease decrease
young eyes gazing at two people shredding life out of each beat as they continue to decrease

young eyes splitting from the seams as blue jeans have zippers that go off the track
young eyes watching as there life disappears like a math problem dissapears off a dry erase board
young eyes slowly closing because there nightmares are actually turning into there real life

so they say divorce is defined by two people seperating
defined yet so undefined
undefined because adding young eyes its
not two people
its
1
2
3
DIVORCE
defined as a seperation between two people
and young
eyes

You have a great perspective going here, from the child. I would start with that, rather than the definition (just to give your words more action and intent). Be careful with your spelling! While getting creative with grammar can be part of the artistic appeal of poetry, if the errors look accidental it's distracting to the reader and could especially hurt you in the scholarship slams. Overall, very passionate content. I find that I like writing poetry I can relate to best.
