Life's Crisis #1 - Feeling Pressure

A Poem

Feeling the Pressure � Life Crisis #1

Enter something you�re not ready for.
Colliding with your dreams and hopes.
You�re not ready for an atomic bomb of stress.
Dignity is relevant when beginning against the fence.

Questioning everything you believe in.
the very ingredients of mankind.
Though your mind doesn�t stray far from insanity.
it contributes close to apathy.

21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29

the beginning of another decade of life
A scary thought too many people
Ten years go by
Scared
Feeling confused
Unsure what to do
scratch the walls of guilt
Feeling trapped in life�s puzzle.

What to do?
What to do?

Phil

This is good. I like it. Makes you wonder what is next...in life or what ever comes your way. Are we ready for it maybe not. but we will go through it. maybe have a friend with us to lean on. Either way bring it on.
Thank you.

I think I get it- and I like it. I really liked the above lines a lot, very fascinating to me. I relate this to mid life crisis and all the thoughts that goes with it. The mention of "Dignity is relevant when beginning against the fence," to me this means straddling the fence, or being undecided on what next you might do. I totally get this. So haw far off am I? LOL
