I Feel Like..
just trying to clear my mind.
I feel like I've been found out,
I feel like people know certain things that they shouldn't know about
Yes, whatever, I'll come clean, I'm hiding behind a mask
because saying things like, "I'm okay, I'm fine, nothing is wrong";
has become more or less a chore instead of a task
I've been strong for too long, I suppose, because now my shields are slipping
It's getting harder to figure out if the sky is falling, or if I'm just tripping
At this very moment, my body is staying still.. but my mind.. it's whirling
Time itself, feels still... yet my heart is still beating, almost swirling!
I have a lot I have bottled up inside,
Which is easier for me to just pretend I'm okay and hide
I know I should really talk to someone else
But how? When these days no one listens... but myself
Sometimes I feel like maybe I'm going crazy,
because my memory is so fogged lately, that everythings a blur and hazy
I feel like I've been sold out
Like everything I've ever wanted hidden, everyone suddenly knows about!
I wish I could find somewhere secluded so I can let myself scream, and shout
Certain days I truly can't tell you what to begin to expect
because those days, I don't know if it'll be normal or completely out of context
I've got so many mixed emotions, that my day dreams are becoming my nightmares
and my inner gut intuition is no where to be found, so lost, it could be anywhere
Feeling like I've been found out, like I've been sold out
Has done nothing but cause myself such... horrifying doubt
Is it too late? Am I mentally too... parished?
if this is going to become my reality, what will happen to the memories I've once... cherished?
This poem is all over the damn place!
So that's why I'm telling you this now, just in case
In case one day I just happen to lose my mind
So people please do me a favor, and learn to be kind
No one knows what the next person is going through
So try to make someone smile... it's the least we can do.

This poem is a raw and emotional reflection of the struggle to maintain composure while battling inner turmoil. The poet skillfully expresses the feeling of being overwhelmed, isolated, and misunderstood, using powerful imagery like "my mind... it's whirling" and "my day dreams are becoming my nightmares." The vulnerability and honesty in the lines, "I feel like I've been found out, like I've been sold out," capture the essence of a deep internal conflict. It is a plea for understanding and kindness, reminding readers that we never truly know the battles others are facing. The call for empathy in the final lines is a poignant reminder that sometimes, the simplest act of kindness can make all the difference.
Thank you 🙏 🙏 I've been bullied. I know what it's like. I just want kindness to be back in the world we all have had the opportunity to live on before we kill what's left of it with all this hatred and sickness we're spreading across the globe.
I pray that my message be heard: "Love for all, hatred for none." May it spread across the world.
Hopefully. I'm going to relax on the comment sections lol.
