Enveloped

Stress has captured me,

pulled me in with it's reins.

I'm caught inside its envelope,

it has sealed me away

from life, I am hidden.

Asleep for good,

Unable to awaken

When will this beast release me,

and give back,

what is has taken?

I must escape,

but I am too weak,

I'm much to deep

to climb out of these catacombs.

So grab my hand;

pull me out.

I need your help

As stress won't let me go just yet.

It has destroyed me,

And my life,

My friends, my love, and my rights.

My hair is torn from my head

and my heart is split into pieces.

A simple thing makes me crack.

Any moment I may burst open

and attack.

You must be gentle

when handling me,

but I need your help

so I can be free.

Every line is packed full of emotion and that's what makes this so remarkable. Many people can relate to this but you have wrote this in your own unique way

I enjoyed this poem. I've been there so I can relate. It's hard to drag yourself out. Great poem.
