The heat from the anger overtakes my body, Combustion seems to be the only way for things to be, Feelings of hate rage and anger bring forth evil thoughts, I fought the feelings for so many years Now its time for them to persevere, Pressures put upon me, Too many for me, What exactly does everyone want me to be? Headaches and pain.. Hemorrhages of the brain.. I want to complain... but it’s too late The heat from the anger overtakes my body, I can’t sweat; every bead that hits my forehead seems to evaporate, Humidity, and temperature rising, Not to surprising because they fire in me is wild and uncontrolled...almost like it is alive Spontaneous combustion.. Only and assumption.. Flames from inside consume my flesh from the inside... Stay alive... easy to say for you and everyone else... because your not in a situation where you must battle yourself.. Not a battle of wealth but a battle of self-sanity.. Every word that I speak out my mouth seems to take the form of profanity, 2001.. Only 3 months in and its already a calamity, Never learning from my mistakes.. My heart throbs with the pain of the world on my chest, I take in so much.. But I release so little tension, Impossible dreams, it seems, reaching them is just a dream, They sparkle like stars but disappear like reflections in streams, My spirits are low they match my self-esteem, I don’t need to be alone with feelings like these. In the middle of my living room down on bended knees, screaming please, Help me remove these, Feelings from my mind... planted there like a seed, What I need... ???Who knows???.... If I don’t then who is to answer me.. My thoughts are like a cancer waiting to overtake Me.. Crippling my every extremity.. Till there’s nothing left of me.... Just a hollow shell of what I used to be. |

Hello again! I've seen several of your poems, the themes seem to be the same. I challenge you to look through another person's eyes...and write what you see. I do believe you are up to it! You've got a good grasp of vocabulary, but I see more, just waiting to get out.... go for it! |
