state of anxiety

on pins and needles
her life has been made
too sharp to relax
too painful to relay

the truth of this existance
dwells deep as if to say
it has never truly happened
her life wasnt hers anyway

she sits
on pins and needles
uncomfortable at best
must be too much to expect
anything more
or to beg
for anything less....

Hey Mistyrose,
I loved this, so much said in so few words.

Excellent!

I hope you find yourself in a more comfortable situation soon! I could feel a certain nervousness seeping from the poem.

I know not of classic or proven form, only what sounds good to me when i write it or read it. And i like this poem very much, a strong impression made with few words....my favorite thing. This is the first i have read from you, but i will watch for more.
