Invisible Hands

Describing the Labyrinth of Life

“You're not alone” they say with a sympathetic smile.
Meanwhile their eyes slice judgement across my wrists like razors.
Their comforting words swirl around my head hazing out the light.
They encourage me to move forward but the sun is blocked
and everything is black
and I can't tell which way is heaven and hell
and I'm dizzy
and I just want to get off this ride.
I move blindly, fumbling towards a cliff, my toes graze the edge.
The hands that are meant to catch me are the hands that make me fall.

[Mikayla Reed]

Very well written, the words speak on many different levels. Pain, frustration, hopelessness, confusion. It's very relatable.

It feels like the poet is going through some hard times, may be unsure about the future, the confusion of life creating more complications in her life... People are trying to help her with encouraging words but to be honest in those moments of pain, those encouraging words hurts more... I know the feeling very well frnd... In such moment only patience and our inner strength can bring us to the path of light... Very intelligently written... Lots of thoughts and describes how so many people around the world are going through the same situation...

Sincerely
Dhiman

Thank you so much, I'm glad you could take away from the poem what I was trying to portray. Thank you ❤️

[Foreplay]

Another take: 'As it is' is duplicitous, false judgment abounds w/hypocrisy, and security offered is rife with manipulation...Very well drawn.

Thank you so much, I'm astounded that people understand the point I'm trying to get across. Thank you

This poem is a clear reflection of your frustration with others and partly yourself. That dizziness sucks to go through and the edge is scary. Just keep away from it before you have enough time to gain inner strength. You wrote this very well.
