Helpless

Voices in my head

Thoughts swirling

Stomach churning

Blood pounding

 

I’m helpless

Utterly helpless

Hidden in the dark

With no will to cry out

 

Hands bound

Eyes covered

Voices muffled

Metal on my tongue

 

Drowning in doubt

Hope still resilient

Yet hating that hope

Because of fear

 

Too many thoughts running together

To be able to sleep

Too afraid of destiny

Too easily bent to its will

 

Too afraid of a leap of faith

Because uncertainty is doom

Yet what can I do but trust my fate

To this cruel and horrid world?

 

What can I do but hope

For a better place to be found?

What can I do but to love and lose

When my heart was meant to be broken?

 

Heart beat fast

Eyes flutter close

I give myself to the darkness

And scatter my thoughts to the wind

Author's Note

Sometimes I think so much I'm trapped by my thoughts. But here's this little poem to vent a little bit. Yes, my friends, I am STILL alive!

i like it doesn't rhyme but that sorta adds to the emotion if you know what i mean

[Rose of Gondor]

thanks :D Yeah, I find it so much easier to emote when I don't have to worry about rhyming!

[Professor Xeronian]

Very nice, for what seems to be one of your first pieces. I like how you kept to a particular theme and not keeping too much on any single point. However there is the problem of having the same amount of syllables in the lines and rhyming the lines.

[Rose of Gondor]

yeah, I do free form poetry (translate: I'm lazy so I write whatever the heck i want lol), so the syllables and the rhyming kinda go over my head. :D
