My Life in Quotes.

My Life in Quotes.

A Poem by Anthony Q Armstrong

"It's hard to answer the question "what's wrong" when nothings right."
"When I was younger crying always seemed to be the answer. Now that I'm older crying seems to be the only option."
"I guess there comes a point where you just have to stop trying because it hurts to much to hold on anymore."
"Tired of living and scared of dying."
"Don't fall into the trap of pretending everything's fine when you know it isn't."
"Just when I thought my life was coming together, I realized it was just starting to fall apart."
"Stop the world I wanna get off."
"I bleed for you that's why I cut those simple scars are just deep thoughts."

"It seems to me that the harder I try the harder I fall."

very nice. I particularly liked the one "stop the world I wanna get off" because of that being a wish that many people want at a point. But only get off when it's your stop. Don't jump off too early :)

I hope this helps and that you continue to make great writing.

DEFINITELY YES. I think anyone can relate to all of these. Nothing has spoken my life more than this has right now.

I like it, the way you used the words of others to speak your own. Do you mind if I use this idea? If not, that's fine. I would give you credit for it.

I niether thought that life can be such complicate In mere quotes.The life is full of paradox circumstances and you depicted them well.You def keep poetic qualityYour piece has an emotional appeal which is quiet appreciative.keep writing.:-)

So, depressing for lack of a better word. Good, but sad.
I like 'Stop the world, I wanna get off."
reminds me of a line from The Producers- "Stop the world, I wanna get on."
Funny how a one letter difference can change the meaning completely

this kind of reminds me of an exercise I did for a creative writing class. We had to make a collage poem using magazine cutouts--go through and clip out phrases or words and create a poem. I recognize some of these quotes, nicely done. Glad to see you're experimenting. Only suggestion, the black and red color distracts me. I understand it's supposed to illuminate the meaning, but color in poems has never been a trait I can appreciate. Thanks for sharing.

Your poem was difficult for me to read. On my screen it shows as red on black with not enough contrast between the background and print. After wiping off the smudges left on my monitor by my nose, your poem has some interesting thoughts. At times life really is a struggle, two steps up the hill and we slide one step back, or something like that. But our only choice is to continue, savoring those small moments when things are successful.
