I don't really like doing non-rhyming, as you are about to see.

ERORR:

I can’t help it
If I don’t like that
Panicked feeling
That compresses me when
You Get Too Close.

It’s not that I am
Cold hearted
Or just
Lonely
I can’t quite explain
That feeling of
Swallowing fear.

I don’t want this.
This feeling of
Pressure
That surrounds me when you
Touch me
Or even just
Get close.

I feel like I am
Separate
From the rest of the world
That I live in my
Own bubble
On
My
Own.

I can’t help it
I don’t want it
But
You can help me
Just don’t
Get Too Close.

I can totally relate and i normally don't care for non-rhyming poems but i really enjoyed this one!

With God I am happy; sadness has no say in my life.

You did well writing this poem. I prefur ryhming better though. What makes this poem special is that you get your emotions across in short burst of writing. I like that.

When I see your smile, and I know it’s not for me, that’s when I’ll miss you.

Personally, I like to write free verse these days. Rhyming is very difficult now.

Lol, but I digress. Hmm, I think that although ur words were plain by themselves, ur emotions and intentions gave them color and life.
Good job! It must be strange writing in a style ur not used to.

There is power in the pen.
