As Life Stumbles On

Regardless of what one thinks
Nothing is every truly right
Something always falters



The pages crumble in my hand
As my mind freezes cold



No matter what one assumes
Life just seems to go wrong
Something always hits the wall



My face a punching bag for words
Rules diminish my ability to feel



And at this very moment
I’m delusional in mind
I’m dissatisfied with life



Dreams stop breathing
As my mouth goes death dry






You see time just keeps on going
As my life stops before my eyes
Unable to seize my moments
Incapable of dealing with my feelings








The hope for my life has wavered
And I’m stranded in my distress and troubles

  you've penned despair very effectively in this write; the imagery, emotion, and metaphor together form the observation well; good write; =( lousy feelings to deal with though. *hugs* ~pf
