Atop the Land of Diamonds/To Sink or not to Swim
By Candy Cain
I'm tired like a labrat spinning over water when the hazmats cover every
corner
My gas tank's spilling and my heartbeats building and I'd hardly call this
dry land anymore
and the fire and the snowing has my tires spinning slowly and I close my
eyes to make it go away
I'm tired like a labrat spinning over water and I don't know if I'm gonna
be okay.

Many images that are hard for the reader to relate to though they can be easily visualized . This is one that the reader would have to had been there to appreciate . But the feeling of mentalking exhaustion comes through loud and clear . Would have like to hear the music too .

Oh, thank you for the honest feedback. You're very good at reading the intents I put into things and I appreciate that. Would you suggest I change anything to make the imagery more relatable? Despite the tone of the words, it was actually written to a fast pace, cheery, campfire tune in major, which may have affected it this way.

Sometimes certain situations and emotions can be hard to put into words or expressed . I feel this is one of those moments that o e cannot relate to until it slaps you in the face . Don't worry about changing it for then it is not original . Leave it as is and go to your next poem . And along the way you will get better at expressing those deep ingrained emotions that cause us to write poetry .
