I'm Falling Under

by Jad   Jan 30, 2011


Rebounded but tossed away
watch the top crumble down
and the lost be found,
but I will forever fade.

Trapped, I'm falling under
consumed by the pressure
unable to reach the measure,
only able to wonder...

So now a days pictures burn,
releasing crumbling memories
intoxicated under the wrong rhymes,
misplacing flow, burning imagery.

The end is here
and all my fears
awaken without nightmares,
strangling my cares
burying me in my grave;
I'm falling under.

    This is very sad indeed. I could feel an inner release of sadness. This is one of those poems that makes me read and think. It is sort a mind blogging like sadness was once upon a time and now with time it's getting over. Very well done, kel.

    I have found that one of the best escapes from darkness, is to trap it on a paper, inside a poem. To detain it, and purge yourself of it's illness for a little while. This poem ached with pain. I know it feels often that when people say "I understand", their works are empty. But I can say, I hope as some support, that I know the feelings, the experiences of fears from your nightmares coming to life. Sleep is evil, because the fears wait for you, and waking is tormenting, because now the fears find you too. I cannot give you answers, only a plea to keep hanging on, and a big hug, from a complete stranger.

    You use fillers a lot, I wonder if theres a way you can remove a few 'and'`s or 'the'`s?

    and all my fears
    awaken without nightmares,
    ^This didn't really make sense to me with what you're trying to portray in the last stanza. Fear would be associated with nightmares, I would think, plus I don't really understand these lines to begin with...hmm.

    I thought the rhyme was kind of forced in some places, 'pressure' and 'measure' for sure, at least for me. It felt forced.

    Not your best poem. I hate to tear it apart and all, but I have seen better from you. Your third stanza was probably the strongest, though.
