Locked

Locked

A Poem by Chloe..Across the Universe


Locked in a box
No way out
Struggle
Scratch 
Claw
Nails breaking
Fingers bleeding 
Head throbbing
Mind Screaming
Heart pounding
Mouth dry
Lungs bursting
Gasping - air
Looking - light
Scraping 
Digging
Screaming 
Dying inside
Afraid outside
Locked
In-a-box -Jack
Wind me up 
Faster please
Where is the key
Where is the key
To sanity
Is only a state of 
m-i-n-d
b-e-n-d-i-n-g
The key















*Munch- "Scream".. he painted this after seeing me early one morning on first awakening- he kept that a secret- (joking of course)

I felt like I was in a coffin buried alive. I think a lot of people could relate this Chloe. I enjoyed the anxiety of this.

Great Write!

this reads like the frantic feeling it speaks of...very intense and so well executed as you conveyed the feeling of terror with exactness...In no way is this nonsense...superb writing!!!!

The humane psyche can play tircks on us so many times, that is what causes our phobeias... I can relate to this fast paced, intense piece.

multiple nuances trabslatable on several levels~ from psyche to world to humankind and back in a loop~ you convey the feelings of anxious terror and confinement very well here~ Chloe~

I don't think this is jibberish. It's a great write. The flow is soft yet jagged at the same time to fit with the meaning of each word. Good work

I invisioned a person trapped in a coffin that was being burried under life itself. The panic here clouded the mind and fed the panic to take hold more and more which you captured in the description of the actions. I like the mental break down and the anxiety that was displayed in desperation and all I kept thinking was just breathe and think first. :) I like this write it was creative and gibberish only because of her panic stricken actions for freedom :)

how you've lined up the shape and structure of the poem is nice.
I like how you've used shortened words throughout it. I liked this:)
