A Stifling Mind Poem by Roshana Phillips

A Stifling Mind

Rating: 5.0


I can't take it anymore,
I can't stand this mess.
I need to find a way out,
Of this never ending stress.

The rising pressure inside,
I no longer wish to hide.
The anger, wrath,
I'm tired of this path.

The boring mundane,
I'm going insane,
As i try to combat
But fail to contain
This amok;
That runs in my brain.

I want to scream out stop
Save me from this pain
But the little strength I have
Can no longer be contain
Since I'm running out of time
Me and my stifling mind.

IM not sure if this was intended, but I enjoy the slow increase of intensity in the poem. The concept is great as well (Though I'm not sure I should be saying that considering the subject) I like this poem!

A very powerful piece with strong emotive concepts that make it easy to relate to. I think just a few tiny tweaks on the grammar and maybe a couple of word swaps would add finesse and really drive it home nicely.
