---- Zippers - Cope Original Poetry ----
Zippers
Zippers, they are hard to close when open,
but all zippers close in time.
On their own or with some thread.
Don't worry its "fine"...
Some zippers hard to open,
while others come with ease.
But once that zip is open,
don't think closing its a breeze
Some zippers overlap each other,
in many sizes too.
A zipper here, a zipper there,
one for me and one for you.
Zips are made for letting out,
something that once was in.
But these zips let out emotions,
So not to poison whats within.
Zippers up and down the arms,
You'll also find them on the legs.
Zippers fucking everywhere,
Well, maybe not around the head.
But keep those zippers covered,
don't let anybody see.
It saves from answering questions,
and the people leave you be.
Bring that zipper maker closer,
do it inches from your face.
In one sweeping single motion,
emotions vanish with no trace.
If only for a moment,
what is felt has gone away.
Its now subsides within the mind,
its been replaced with pain.
Don't think that it adds value,
In dollars nor in cents.
A zippers one true value,
is the ability to vent.
And though I understand it,
Don't think that I agree.
You won't find any zippers here,
Not the kind that you can see.
Some zippers need an Xray,
an ultrasound or M.R.i.
to see the damage that's been done,
to see what lies inside.
But the darkest zippers ever?
the hardest ones to find?
Are the zippers that cause zippers
that lie deep within the mind.

Wow, simply wow!💗
First of all, your concept is beyond creative!
Like wow, such an epic anology you made there with zippers!!
First time I come across something like this, so it definitely deserves a lot of points for originality!!! 😍
Secondly, your poem is written beautifully !!💚💚
Happy you made me discover it 😊
@steemityourway Thank you for taking the time to read my poem and the beautiful comment.
As many of these things go the analogy has a dark history from real life events, but that is where these kids of concepts come from right ? we take fragments of our experience and reality then try and express them is a way which we hope to be understood at varying levels. Delving into the minds maze to try and create something beautiful from events which have defined us.
Again thank you and much love in your direction :)
Good job cope! I think I have an idea what zippers are but you'll have to tell me in dm, if you're feeling like it.
much love @phedizzle, yeah im open to chat about the basis of zippers and the history of the analogy :)
What an awesome poem.... loved it!
Good job, Cope! :-)
Thanks @amberyooper, tappin into my poetry stylez thanks to clays Poetry Jam sessions, im not much for reading them out loud myself though, lol.
This feels very almost gothic to me. Like in the classic sense not the emo goth raver sense. The zipper has this very foreboding presence in this poem. Way to make an ordinary object carry new meaning!
Hugs @dflo, thanks for reading. Yeah this one is a little dark in its theme, but i think it captures the subject matters essence in my opinion... but i wrote it so bias central, lol. if you are interested in the story behind it hit me up bout it next time we chat on discord :)
Yeah dark isn't bad at all I thought it was super interesting!
