Poem -
Trapped
Alarm
Wake
But
Not quite
Awake
Stumble
To the toilet
BeltÂ
Tighten
Keys
Phone
Wallet
The cheeseÂ
SticksÂ
To the
Countertop
The knife
Stainless
And steel
I tap it,
The noise
Against
My skull
Car
Starts
Barely
Radio
To connect
My Hertz
To fill
My head
With
Nonsense
Coffee
Telling
MyselfÂ
It will
help
Arrive
To the gates
Of
Work
Tasks
Listen
Don't
Fade
In/Out
Car
Home
Sleep
Do it
Again.
Trapped
WithinÂ
Darkness
Trapped
Within
OurÂ
Economy
And bombsÂ
They
Drop
On children'sÂ
Heads
While
I sleep
In "my"
Warm
Bed.

Wow... You have written what my head feels like. I love the staccato style in which it is written, driving home the misery of it all. Pinned ??
Thank you Marion, I'm in awe as to how I make it home some days.
Nice write!Â
Thank you John.
I am loving this style of writing ! the pace of it adds so much to the power of the words and draws the reader right in!! The cycle of life is not always a fulfilling or pleasant one..especially when so many things are happening about us that underpin the feeling of misery here..great write my friend and enjoyed it enormously!..Lodigiana x
Thank you so much Lodigiana, I'm glad you enjoyed it, maybe I'll write something more uplifting soon.

Sir McGOWAN!!......I think everyone who reads this will immediately relate to the staccato-type delivery of this piece... it is indeed the perfect choice for this subject matter.... but I think you've really taken this that extra-mile with your word choices...... which makes up the VERY succinct phrasing...... that paints such amazingly vivid imagery in the minds eye of the reader!!......ALL STARS! & PINNED!!...... Great Write ~ VERY creative dear poet brother!!.......LOVE & ROCKETS!!.....T xo : )
Tony, you are a legend my friend, that's all I can say, thanks for stopping by.
