Break Down

This is a poem about someone breaking down, and just not being able to take it anymore.

I open my eyes but it is dark.

There is nothing to be seen but an endless ocean of black.

I try to stretch my arms out, but I cannot.

There appears to be four walls separating me from the outside world;

They keep me locked away, causing me to stand out.

I am different from the rest.

I search the four walls trying to find a door.

Instead, I find nothing.

However, I do begin to notice that they seem to be closing in on me.

Now, they are so close I can feel them against my skin.

They start squeezing me;

They draw themselves in, closer and closer.

I can no longer breathe,

I began trying to push them away frantically.

It seems the harder I try,

The quicker they close.

I am no more.

They crushed me like I was nothing.

I open my eyes but it is blurry.

There is nothing to see but distorted figures, which I am unable to make out because of my tears.

I try stand up and walk, but I fall due to failure of vision.

It feels like my depression separates me from the outside world;

It keeps me locked away, causing me to stand out.

I am different from the rest.

I wipe my eyes in hope of finding someone willing to help.

Instead, I find no one.

However, I do begin to notice that my emotions seem to be consuming me.

They seem to know my every weak spot.

They start suffocating me again.

It starts hurting, more and more.

I can no longer breathe.

I try to push my feeling away and bury them.

It seems the harder I try,

The more it starts to hurt.

I am depressed.

They push me around like I am nothing.

Oh how lovely you express yourself, truly, there is a romance to your writing. But you need to crush yourself with the lens of ….

Try Harder.

You should use an image with your writes. An appropriate pic. It would add a dimension. I also think you should edit this write. Big time. It's good ok? But write the same thing, just use about 25 less words. It would make it more powerful. Trust me.

I wrote and posted most of these poems years ago. I just recently began going through and revising them and I haven't gotten to this one quite yet.
