Awakening

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 :)

That's a great idea, thank you :)
