Puzzle box

A Poem by brandon

Imagine a room so dark that you can't see

With walls so high you'll never be free

Or a watch you can't stop that goes too fast

Your year never seems to last

A bad dream you can't get out of

And no one cares if you scream and shout

Do you know what I mean; do you know what I'm at?

De'ja' vu for every day

You always seem to have to pay

How many times do you go to bed

And wonder where your life is being led

your hope belated

your life frustrated

With a million boxes with nothing in

When do you stop looking for something to begin

All this time you spin around

One day are going to hit the ground

this puzzle box with no solution

A game for life with no resolution

It is difficult to step outside of the monotany of life, especially when you are chained by rountine and responsiblity. I really liked the imagery in this one; truly gives the reader a sense of frustration and the reality of being "stuck".

Great rhyming and expression. There are phases when one feels stuck in the same old daily grind and time seems to spin too fast...without anything happening. But that's life - a puzzle box. Thoroughly enjoyed reading this thinking poem.
