Arrow

How many of these do we see in a day?

 

Arrow

“Straight as an arrow”

I had drilled in my head

over and over

till I kept myself clean

An arrow pointing

up and down

this way and that way

too many directions

Oh God

where's the way out

Can anyone tell me

as I walk through this maze

boggling my mind

as I'm left in a haze

Finally I see hope

luck is on my side

I see a door saying

“Here's a place to hide”

Slowly I open to

see what's in store

a blast of fresh air

as I step out the door

I'm not too sure what you intended readers to interpret when they read this. (but obviously much of the greatest pieces we read are like that) I felt like it was about someone with a lot of avoidance issues. So this was great for me to read, because I feel that way about my writing at times.

Sometimes I begin writing and then I get immediately overwhelmed and find myself doing anything but writing lol.

This was written for a poetry challenge for a poetry group, one of the others chose the topic of arrows and this is my take on it. glad you liked it too.
