Metaphorical Nostalgia
September 24, 2012
Epiphany comes all too clear when I wake upon the couch.
My cramped, crushed, disjointed limbs all twisted on that tired couch.
Perhaps a small part of me hoped to
Or even believed that I might witness morning from my bed;
to be carried up, tucked in, seven years old again.
But morning delivers its bald faced message,
Its reality check to seventeen.
For as I wake upon my couch, dressed in yesterday’s clothing,
Epiphany comes all too clear.

I liked this piece a lot. It's very well structured and interesting, and many people are experiencing what you are describing. Keep it up x

I think you have a really good vocabulary, and the structure of this poem is interesting, you're pauses are good. Where are you going? You had an epiphany? What is it? Take me there.
