Puzzle box

Puzzle box

A Poem by brandon

              Imagine a room so dark that you can't see

                 With walls so high you'll never be free

             Or a watch you can't stop that goes too fast

                       Your year never seems to last

 

                    A bad dream you can't get out of

              And no one cares if you scream and shout

     Do you know what I mean; do you know what I'm at?

 

                            De'ja' vu for every day

                    You always seem to have to pay

                  How many times do you go to bed

             And wonder where your life is being led

 

                              your hope belated

                             your life frustrated

                With a million boxes with nothing in

         When do you stop looking for something to begin

 

                     All this time you spin around

              One day are going to hit the ground

                this puzzle box with no solution

              A game for life with no resolution

It is difficult to step outside of the monotany of life, especially when you are chained by rountine and responsiblity. I really liked the imagery in this one; truly gives the reader a sense of frustration and the reality of being "stuck".

" your hope belated

your life frustrated

With a million boxes with nothing in

When do you stop looking for something to begin



All this time you spin around

One day are going to hit the ground "
You are talented indeed...Thank you for sharing...:)

Great rhyming and expression. There are phases when one feels stuck in the same old daily grind and time seems to spin too fast...without anything happening. But that's life - a puzzle box. Thoroughly enjoyed reading this thinking poem.
