Unreachable

October 16, 2008

the work is sitting, it won't get done.
my mind is spinning and my chest is wound
second guesses have bitten the light
so many misses and never a fight
the reaches endless and the stars unsound
wings of canvas stroking the ground
a dew lit night but shades to blind
midnight reaches where i cannot find

The author's comments:
Life seems to be an everyday battle. Once you're up, you have to fight to keep from falling down. This poem is my explanation of that daily battle; Of how I tire from fighting but my day is yet unfinished and the end is non existant... I will fight every day.

This will certify that the above work is completely original, Linnea Cecile Helgeson.

This is really good. I know everyones gonna say that, just cause we've been taught that thats the right thing to say. But I honestly think it is. I normally don't really understand too much poetry, but this one clicked. Your such a good writer Linnea. Don't give up on it. It could get you really far. Keep doing the best you can. Don't ever give up girl! I love you!!
