Poet Destroyer A Poet Epic

Frozen Noose

Anxiety    (The Worst Noose In Town)

-- like flooding waters, creeping in
I count 30, seconds, holding my breath again
Drowning in agitation, overwhelmed by fear
I try to hide the pressure in hopes I don't pass out
My pores are soaked, from all the perspiration
I feel the pins and needles pushing in
My skin is ruined from all the peeling
At this point, I can't seem to win

Washed out by dead hope and desire 
My soul is lost searching for a shore
leashing, grasping and ripping the chest wide
I count 40, seconds, once nausea can't be blocked
Everything about this moment is driving me mad,
I need to escape, however, my knees are too weak
I tremble while losing control to the emotional distress
My knuckles are pale, detached from reality,
wounds forced with further embarrassment.
Guaranteed failure surrounds my day
Numbness strikes my very essence - I can't move!

Lost in a room, 
Therapy - even so I feel singled out


HAPPY VALENTINES (it can get the best of us)  
---------------------------- love Linda

Laura Breidenthal January 9, 2018 at 8:02 PM I feel this one! I love the line - "My knuckles are pale, detached from reality, wounds forced with further embarrassment." Some memorable ones throughout but I find that one most unique. There's much to be anxious about in this world we live in...the anxiety is crippling, strangling. Well done. Love always, Laura

Steven Starkey November 1, 2016 at 8:13 AM intense, em.otional, terrifying Life is not always wonderful. There are those times it can break us but these are the times we must fight and come out stronger. I feel the pain and I want to take it from you.

Matthew Abuelo June 27, 2016 at 10:56 PM I really like this piece. Full of emotion and paints a rather accurate picture of depression. Looking forward to reading the rest of your work.

Yvonne Uzzell June 23, 2016 at 11:41 PM I can certainly feel the emotion here. The ending was a surprise. 8-)
