I Feel Like
I feel like I’m a ticking time bomb
I don’t know what's going on, there’s blood dripping from my palms
I feel like my life is coming to an end
Living a bloody life that I feel like I have to pretend
I feel like I have to fake this smile
With blood flowing down my arms, I’ll never be pain free for more than a little while
I feel like my world is crumbling beneath me
This blood isn’t mine, so whose is it? I feel like no one wants me to live peacefully
I feel like I’ve lost everything, and anything
The bloods forming a puddle under my feet, I really don’t deserve nothing!
I feel like my life isn’t mine anymore
The blood is crushing me, throwing me out the door
I feel like the time has finally come
For me to surrender, there’s no point in fighting anymore when I’ve become too numb
I feel like this is my destiny, my fate, my ending time bomb
I don’t know what’s going on, because of the blood dripping from my palms

Stephanie, I like the honesty in this write. I also think you have a gift for expression. Using blood as a visual for the reader. An understanding of the pain you carry. The detachment of the blood not being your own, but others. Gives the reader the understanding how all this pain has been forced on you. Bleeding out of you. Feeling numb is a sensation many of us on here can relate to. The fact you are writing so clearly and inventively gives me the hope you are channeling your pain, into words and verse. I do hope it’s helping. Your writings will help others so please keep writingÂ

Oh wow. Thank you so much for the inspiring comment!! It touched my heart and made me teary eyed. In a good way. I never thought my writing could be so important to others. I'm glad you enjoyed this poem and the way it turned out. I'm rather proud of this poem because of the raw emotions I used. I'm currently okay but sometimes this is how I feel. Thank you again so much for your time and comment!
Hi Step... also sorry if you dont like me calling you that... I never asked did I? I just wanted to say that I think we all have our low points in life. I'm not here to offer my advice because as a random guy from the internet that's SUPER unethical. But I did want to say Cosmos is here to support you. You know, many people follow your work. That's not for nothing my friend! You are an awesome poet and caring person. It really shines through with your work. Oh I do wish you all the best Stephanie. Peace and calm waters will be here soon! Kind regards, your friend MaxÂ
Hey Max! Thank you for reading my poem and leaving such a thoughtful comment in response. I don't mind you calling me Step. It's sweet that you gave me a nickname! You are so kind and it really shows! I am grateful for my followers and everyone who just stops and reads my poems. It means a lot to me that people take the time out of their day to read what I have written. It tells me that I wrote something good, honest and relatable. I've always been the type to write with raw emotions. It's just how my brain works. Real honest words or I don't write at all. I've come a long way and comso has been giving me the inspiration and the dedication I've always looked for in readers and other poets. Thank you again for the comment. P.s. I don't mind getting advice. It helps me as a person and as a writer.
