Between A Rock And My Mind Space

I'm in between a rock and my mind space
I'm sinking as I swim.
Sadly, the repercussions of struggling within
I can't turn back.
I can only move side to side.
There's no moving forward, all bullshit aside.
Can't go on pretending.
Can't go on believing.
Doesn't do any good to give what in turn I'm not receiving.
All the reasons in the world
won't make reason enough
If I don't come to terms with when enough's enough.
Where is my line between
my glitter and my gold
When can I stop listening and finally see what I am told.
Between my rock and my mind space
Within the confines of my chest
Lies, barely breathing
The reason at best.

"I'm in between a rock and my mind space"
Easy to be undecided and be locked in. I like the flow of the thoughts and the strong ending. Nice combination of words made the poem a pleasure to read. Thank you for the excellent poetry.

I think it's great that you're able to add a new poem almost everyday. Your mind must live for this stuff? Keep up the great work!

Hi Keeley, Liked it but it needs some crafting. I think you have fallen into the rhyme trap with this one which leads you to seek a word to fit no matter how inelegant. Free verse may suit you better.

Bewilderment has made for a superb piece of poetry, Keely. I love ..."All the reasons in the world won`t make reason enough..." Logic doesn`t work all the time. Sometimes you have to go with your gut. P.

Very sad..complex and residing in the middle of nowhere. I think being in that situations, this is the best reason that will drive you to resist. "Resistance." Good penned, keep writing!

"Within the confines of my chest
Lies, barely breathing
The reason at best" - These lines give enough reason to say "it's enough" and move on.

A powerful protest and so eloquently penned. Happy Women's Day to you!

oh, how i detest the place you describe. it feels like you are pedaling your a*s off and going nowhere. i like the way you arranged this and made it click. nicely worded and very remindful of things we would rather not endure ....thank you for sharing!
