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...

Poet Destroyer A Date: 5/8/2016 8:59:00 PM 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 <-@ Login to Reply

Sarah Williams Date: 5/8/2016 2:25:00 PM 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 Login to Reply
