Overwhelmed

by Ashley Ann   Jul 11, 2012


Smoking half a pack at once, still stressed.
Kick this shit, aint got a penny in my pocket.
Mind's a tangled up mess,
only gets worse with this stress.
The world's pushing me down,
life is making me drown.
Tryin' every day to get rid of this frown.

The only things that make me happy,
make me worry all the more.
Knowing that its okay today,
but tomorrow may reopen sores.

With him I can find my smile,
but will it be worth while?
I fear again my heart break.
Ive built a wall from past heartaches.

They say that love is blinding,
What is it that I can not see?
I dont want to lose this sunshine
In my cloud of misery.

Constantly living with regrets, making a mess,
Gotta figure out just what to do.
Don't know who to trust, but it's a must,
Test the waters even when they're new.

I can't be scared, gotta be prepared,
To grab this life by the throat.
I'm so damn tired of this cloud of grey,
gotta beat it before it makes me choke.

    Another great piece. My favorite part were the two lines in the last stanza "To grab this life by the throat" and "gotta beat it before it makes me choke" the imagery behind them is very strong.

    Keep writing, I really enjoy your work!

    This is awesome, this should be the anthem to quitting something. Nicely done. So much power and emotion. It really drew me in from the very first sentence.
    5/5

    This had a really great pace that you held onto throughout the poem.
    It flowed smoothly and you have used rhyme well.

    I can't pick a favourite stanza, which is unusual for me, but they're all just really great! Each tends to throw more emotion into the mix. Your title was definitely well chosen.

    To some aspects of the poem, I can relate.
    But I think that this piece overall, is very relatable to many readers. A plus in my eyes.

    Think I will be reading more from you. (:

    Well penned. 5/5
