I Feel...

[TheN3rdyOutcast]

I wish I could feel
I wish to smile and have an optomistic yet ignorant mind,
where anything is possible, and all stories have a happy ending.

I wish I could feel
I wish to cry, and feel as if all hope is lost,
and that there's nothing I can do to escape this life of torment, regret and despair.

I wish I could feel.
Feel happy, feel sad, feel angry, feel calm, or just feel
But instead I don't feel. I am.

I am raw.
Like an elbow that's been scraped on the linoleum one too many times
I feel ths sting, yet I don't feel pain.

I am upset.
Like the first few seconds after devastating mnews.
I am loaded with pressure and tension, as if waiting for an eruption.

I am empty
Like a need never met, a desire never satisfied.
I can feel the void inside of me, sucking away.

I wish I could feel,
but instead I only recieve numbness.

OK, ovw read a lot of poe!s on here before and always pretended to like them to be supportive, but I really did think this one was very good, I can relate a lot to what is said in it.

Very. Very good work. You managed to create the first poem I ever enjoyed
