What a poem. The sadness just reaches out and grabs ya.. Loved the imagery. So deep this poem. Can feel it all around you. The emotion shown here is just overwhelming.

*only to feel the waters rise up

from the well of my soul*

Sometimes, for no reason sadness

wraps me like a straitjacket

Consider moving sadness down to the beginning of the next line.

Good poem.

Sometimes, for no reason sadness

wraps me like a straitjacket

squeezes my chest, chokes the breath

from my lungs in short, shallow gasps

Prehaps:

Sometimes, for no reason

sadness wraps me like a strait jacket-only thing I noticed

that took away from the nice flow.

But, it really pulled me in. I thought it was a GREAT title. This is definitely fabulous work with wonderful choice of words. Filled with emotions, drawing me in....suffocating pain!!
