Motionless

Missing image

 ~

 

Equivalent only to ourselves
battling what?
do we even know...

Invisible threads weaving each moment,
leading me down rickety bridges
and cliff hanging emotions ~

 

~ pushing me towards

unknown endings...
My misery a guaranteed
good ending for somebody.

Engulfed within
the timeless battle of achievement,
expectations hover over each shoulder
whispers, turned screams...

now silent.

Indecisive mishaps
struggling just to follow
the path of least resistance,
discovering I'm motionless.

Author notes

I found this picture after I wrote the poem so it wasnt the inspiration
I thought it just looked nice and fit the poem. I found it at photobucket.com

    This piece really spoke to me. I felt that I could relate so much. I tried to pick a particular part, but found it was the entire piece. Great write

    I love the ending of this, for when we stand still it's sometimes as if the world whizzes by us and we miss opportunities because we have our feet planted in the past. The trick is the risk to walk forward C
