Limbo....
A place of confinement and restraint...
It's where you end up when you neither belong to heaven or hell
floating through timeless space...in a motion
so...exhausting...straining...tormenting...
everything you see moves in shadows
forever waiting wearily for something...
something vague...could be a beginning or an end
hopelessness immense...
a parody so vexedly intense
where every hour of everyday is eternity
Caught in a time of infinite futile tarry.

You've done something unique in this poem--you've managed to make opposites work! You yourself realize the parody in the image of the timeless moment. But you've done more; by juxtaposing images like "confinement and restraint" with "floating, moving and immense," you have created an image of a person imprisoned in time and space, yet moving endlessly with no purpose. I don't care if you're 14 (as one of the answerers states) or 40; your poetry speaks to all ages and I'm amazed at the power of its imagery.

You are probably about 14 to 16 years old Right? You don't have control over your life yet and you probably don't even have the power to drive. You've never made enough money to move out of the house so you are stuck in a limbo of your parent('s) existence. . . . at 14, Yep, been there.
Did anyone ever tell you nothing stays the same... Change is inevitable... Even if you wanted to stay miserable you couldn't...?

I believe teenage angst should be an art because poetry of love and despair come out of it.......Now...try something more optimistic perhaps for a change

In a state of angst. I need sleep but cannot for fear of what I might miss.
