[Nostalgic Poet]

First poem I have put some thought into. I could say it gives some insight on how I view my current situation .

In and out of a nightmare
Is how it feels to me
One moment I'm on top
And the next moment I can't breathe

Im under the ground
Now Im leaning on a tree
Im on a private island
While the ocean suffocates me

Is it cliche to say life's a roller coaster?
Or maybe I just feel the end is getting closer

Up and down are the only ways to go they say
But when gravity's against you, you tend to get out of its way

Words play an important roll
but you never let them win
Sticks and stones may break your bones
but do they ever pierce your skin?

When I finally wake up and grasp for air
I begin to realize life can be fair

I'm reading these words
and hearing my voice
I speak to myself
and listen by choice

Be thankful for your life
and the seed that you've planted
Dont let it go to waste
or take it for granted

Some days I feel the world is against me
At least for today I am alive and free

In and out of a nightmare
Is how it feels to me
One moment I'm on top
And the next moment I can't breathe

Im under the ground
Now Im leaning on a tree
Im on a private island
While the ocean suffocates me

Is it cliche to say life's a roller coaster?
Or maybe I just feel the end is getting closer

But why is the roller coaster getting closer
to the end?



Up and down are the only ways to go they say
But when gravity's against you, you tend to get out of its way


Maybe that makes sense.



Now the poem is changing.
Words play an important roll
but you never let them win
Sticks and stones may break your bones
but do they ever pierce your skin?

It gets flat. More flat.


When I finally wake up and grasp for air
I begin to realize life can be fair

I'm reading these words
and hearing my voice
I speak to myself
and listen by choice

Be thankful for your life
and the seed that you've planted
Dont let it go to waste
or take it for granted

Some days I feel the world is against me
At least for today I am alive and free

The lines are off in places. It's not that bad when they are, as they distract from the flatness of them. Inverted cliches are officially more cliche than cliches now, and have been for a while. Though, using a regular cliche as a novelty is back in style. But don't tell anyone it was me that told you. I'm not concerned about the subject.
