Thats great:)
I trully love this poem, everything in it is perfect:)

Great contrast between mind and body . I believe the mind is linked to thoughts/words where we find awareness . Stretch those arms - the mind already has a grip . Lovely as always :)

I am a bit numb, the feeling in the last past is strong

I've felt that way many times.. the older I get the faster my body feels like gravity has taken over....This piece flowed like a river...love it! i love your writes~ well done

No matter how far
my arms are outstretched,
I can't seem to hold on
to anything.

Darn it, Liz.. you can write songs, I can tell :)

Truly amazing write. Heartfelt. And I felt I am involved.

Hun

I have feelt like that so man times. Forever falling in me.Great piece Liz.Bravo.

I agree with ronel mccarthy - I think she's onto something! One of the worst feelings are those of helplessness (just my opinion) This shows a deep sense of desperation in a way - and isn't that the worst??? Why are we most desperate when there's nothing we can do about a certain feeling/situation? :/ It's unfair. The example you used in this poem was effective! Downward spiral...sounds pretty crazy and scary D:

Oooh Liz I love this! I love the title, and the story of this poem... I especially love how you told it and express the feeling of not being able to keep up and get something right.

I love the opening stanza - it really captured me as the reader.

Though the ending was sad, I really enjoyed it.. because we all feel that way sometimes. It's a relatable poem.

Great job hon =)

5/5.Excellent write.One can relate this state in this fast moving world.The flow is amazing.
