Stress and Pain {sonnet}

by sweet escape   Jul 2, 2008


The pain of sorrow, the fear of failing
The stress of the world is on my back.
No one to help me, i feel like bailing
The strength to keep it up is what i lack.
I need someone to help me lift the pain
But there is no one there to be my net.
So I fall to the ground and now I'm slain.
The pressure was too much for me to get.
It broke my back and made me feel much hurt.
The pain cost me more than the love was worth.
This kind of pain was much like eating dirt,
So now I sit and cry by my fire's hearth.
I think of the actions that got me here,
And I wish that they weren't my biggest fear.

    It's very emotional. Well written. But it could have been better. The structure of the poem is not that strong.

    Yes pain is indeed a great fear. A short and sweet read, not much to comment on.

    A sad and yet so painfully depicting your every emotion as though strapped and bounded within torments and tears and yet as you look around nothing and no one remains. I like your expressive writing because it draws the reader to feel exactly what you are feeling and I think that you have alot of talent. Keep it up! 5/5 from me.
