I feel their presence
Moving slowly inward
I turn to look but see nothing
Now  approaching from all sides
The movement of invisible walls

Squeezing sensations intensify
As I feel the approach..
The immense pressure applied
Upon mind, body, and spirit.

I brace against the impact
Of the meeting of the walls
The squeezing is unbearable
Will it ever cease

I like the way you conveyed the feeling of pressure in this one...could feel the stifling atmosphere as I read. Nice work.

startin_fresh,

Ah yes, I have been there too.  Tough place to be.  If you can endure, you will energe a stronger and better person for it my friend.  Powerful words.

It's interesting that this poem came about from my talk with a friend. She expressed the feeling of the "walls closing in" upon her. She asked I understood the feeling. The poem is my reply.  Thanks Serenity,Lone Wolf and Tara
