Pile of Bricks

Brick after brick I've pictured myself breaking Over my head Each blow I'm taking Breaking me steadily I want to shout But rarely a thing comes out... I punch the brick wall It does nothing So I just fall Into a session A session of depression Tending bloodied knuckles I continue with life Life is a chore What am I still here for? All while Imagining more bricks They win They consume me Every day Breaking me more Until once When I die Heaven or hell? God decides...

Perhaps you should put the bricks aside and look up into the starry, starry sky. Nice write. :-)

Sarah, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@

I used to save everything I've written on my phone, but then I lost everything on my phone a little while ago, and a friend of mine posts his stuff so I decided to start posting mine here now...they are definitely far from anything good
