Awakening

A Poem by Olivia Marie
"

Poem

"
Deadlines...
the clock ticks in the background 
nagging at the strings in my brain
trying to pull something together

Endings... 
time lost, never to be relived
moments gone, never to be revised
quickly flowing into books of unwritten lines

Purgatory... 
my mind dead, asleep
moving forward with my head down
unaware of time lost, or where I'm headed

Awakening...
to nothing, and trying to remember how I got there
lost alone in a numb world
light rays, only an illusion in the darkness

Beginnings...
using my soul to light up a page
awaiting on those long gone to return
and keeping time with my fingers
scratching letters onto one blank, white, page

From "Deadlines" to "Beginnings" you've nicely penned the write. I liked the stuff. You've got some talent to write. All stanzas're cool and I loved every phrase. An awesome job dear, Oli-Volli .. Keep on.

It is well written. I also like how you made a time line. But.. why not expand on each header and make a small collection of poems. I think that it will help you dig a bit deeper on how you are trying to express your emotions through this poem.

But then again, it is still great standing on it's own :)
