You ask again how I feel.
How I feel?

I feel that..

You are clothed in false human kindness
that looks exceptional and edible
but one small taste reveals a bitterness
that fills the lungs and stomach
like the old remnants of vomit
which makes me gag in reflex
scramble back gasping for air
unable to tell if I manage a breath
or die choking and spluttering
in an undeniable flood of my own bile.

That is how I feel.

If you did not want to hear the answer
you should not have asked the question

There should be a psychology of feet. For do we not make decisions with our legs and walk about on our brains? What do you mean "No, not really"?

Hmmm....sounds like you're experiencing technical difficulties with life. I hope things get better. Good luck.
i thought the poem was fine, full of bitterness and angst, but fine nonetheless. We need more angry poems

all the lovy dovy stuff is making my mind collapse upon itself.

Look at the sun and burn your eyes. You'll be fine in the end.
