Momentum

5/5.Excellent write.One can relate this state in this fast moving world.The flow is amazing.

Oooh Liz I love this! I love the title, and the story of this poem... I especially love how you told it and express the feeling of not being able to keep up and get something right.

I love the opening stanza - it really captured me as the reader.

Though the ending was sad, I really enjoyed it.. because we all feel that way sometimes. It's a relatable poem.

Great job hon =)

I agree with ronel mccarthy - I think she's onto something! One of the worst feelings are those of helplessness (just my opinion) This shows a deep sense of desperation in a way - and isn't that the worst??? Why are we most desperate when there's nothing we can do about a certain feeling/situation? :/ It's unfair. The example you used in this poem was effective! Downward spiral...sounds pretty crazy and scary D:

Hun

I have feelt like that so man times. Forever falling in me.Great piece Liz.Bravo.

No matter how far
my arms are outstretched,
I can't seem to hold on
to anything.

Darn it, Liz.. you can write songs, I can tell :)

Truly amazing write. Heartfelt. And I felt I am involved.
