I wish I could say it was easy,
but the memories I keep reliving,
are ones that haunt.
It is without words
that pain is fully found,
deep within our own thoughts,
where the decisions are made.
The decisions that we make,
live with us forever,
the anxiety of insanity,
the pressure rises.
Struggling to fill my lungs
with oxygen and hope,
but the pressure crushes,
the pressure kills.
Looking for a slowed moment,
for a brief moment,
of piercing silence.
Everything shutting down,
emotions running for cover,
thoughts of escape routes,
my body collapsing.
The world becomes
a lifeless blur,
breathing slows,
eves close.
Dream sequences begin,
as my subconscious searches,
looking for the solutions,
the missing puzzle pieces.
I'm falling short.

.......not worthy of the picture.....the picture's better or worse? you need to be specific

picture is a lot better........i can't let myself compare them, REALLY!
but the poem itself is nice....it might help if you remove the picture, but, wait, the inspiration is the image, so........?......hummmmmmmm..........just keep this up, i mean the image, you chose a very fine image, really!
but your other poems, i am coming to love them! -
-
....the poem wasn't inspired by the image. the poem came from how i felt. the image was just placed for the contest so that I'd have an image that people could think about while writing. It's just an image..

these are beautiful words, its just amazing what inspirational pieces you can find just randomly surfing.
the first stanza is a powerful statement, worthy of being quoted too
all the best!

Lately, I've been feeling this quite a lot. Thinking of the things I did just the wrong thing and how much I gave up and how much I might have had.
You really captured the essence in your poem.

Very intense! I could almost feel the pressure of responsibility heavy on shoulders full of doubt. Think to much and we confuse ourselves with thoughts. whilst you are in a heightened state of uncertainty... confusion i would feel my way'round experience until clarity rains supreme
A very strong and intense poem
