Question: Does this poem express fairly well what it's like when things get overwhelming!?

Emotional Overload

Life
dressed in white lab coat
coaxes you into dark alley
"Here, I have an injection for you!.
A mixed cocktail I'm sure you'll enjoy!."
Stress
Worry
Heartache
Pain
Confusion
Betrayal
Rejection
Regrets
Guilt
into your vein it flows
burning as it courses along
invading your every artery
paralyzing any forward movement
suffocating oxygen from your brain
leaving you vegetative
numb
a zombie returns your reflective gaze
the effects begin to wear off
ever so gradually, until
Life calls out to you once
more, "Hey, I've got this injection
waiting for you, you're gonna love it!."
before you can run,
you feel the prick of the needle
and hold your breath
knowing this time
you have even
less within you
to fight!.

Oh my, that is disquieting!. That it affected me so powerfully certainly is testimony to the power of the poem itself!. And yes, I have felt like this, many times!. You have described the feeling so well, with such a redoubtable metaphor that I am still in the thrall of the words!. Very impressive!. Thank you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think we have more in us to fight with than we know sometimes!. We all have demons to face and some of us more than others!. also other people throw their drama on us as well!. Sometimes the problems are hidden and we feel the symptoms but cannot find the root so we carry them every once in a while a bad root blooms a weed and some of them are in full bloom longer than others!. That is when we feel the worst until we can find the roots and it takes help from God to pull them out!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I will give you an injection of poetry to bring the zombie back to life!. It has done so for me!. Words are mightier than the needle; we give them to you, you return others to us!. Our shared words and love will cure that paralysis!. Do not fight; let the words flow freely and they will fight for you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'd say it is a few steps well beyond mere "fairly well"!.

So many words and thoughts to identify with on a very up close and personal level not just as abstract processing!.

Once again you have excelled, though I am not surprised in the least!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's excellent and captures the feelings that we have all felt at one time or another in life!. But hope and life arrive in just the nick of time and you've described it very well indeed my friend!.!.!.The visual was clear!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Ma, as a nurse, I tell you true, you may refuse any medication you don't need or want!. Take three doses of your favorite poet every day and it will help keep the nasties from overwhelming you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

To write of it!.
is to acknowledge it,
to acknowledge it!.
is to address it!.

Be bold, stay the course, and you'll sometimes catch a wave that sends you to paradise!.!.!. I know, been there, done that!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

WOW!.!.!.Without elaborating, life is the number one cause of death!.

I never felt any of those things when I choose escapism and let it flow through my veins!.

Lord knows, I didn't write about any of it then!. Now I can write!.!.TY, maWww@QuestionHome@Com

Sometimes I think that our own thoughts - can sometimes be our worst enemy!. Looking back on life - with regrets!. Looking forward - with fear and uncertainty!. To live in the moment - is sometimes all we can do - to keep our sanity!. ?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hang tough! I know what it feel like to be overwhelmed!. There IS light and hope, just keep the Faith and know you have friends!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Couldn't we just use a patch to medicate calmly! These big doses knock one down! Well said, especially the ending!. Somehow I think you have a long way to go and much more fight! You just colored your hair white! lolWww@QuestionHome@Com
