Overwhelmed

Everything in the world.
Leaves me arms curled.
Around my knees.
Someone make sense of please.
And enlighten me.

Well, it's better than being underwhelmed, I guess...
Or worse, just whelmed.

To Charles: 'I think you can in Europe'.



I like this. It's short and to the point and...I don't know. Captures well enough how we feel when we're overwhelmed, we tend to not get wordy.

Golden. That's the word to describe this.

I am made saddened.
Aside from the fact that EVERYONE stole my comments...this is just saddening. Everyone seems to be feeling exactly like this piece these days, and...and...it's sad.
This piece is sad.
Beautifully written.
And sad.

I like how this rhymes but doesn't feel rhymey at all. It feels to-the-point, or as if the narrator is gasping.
