Feel Something
Grind my teeth together, a jagged prayer
Attempt to forget the ghost of your disappointed stare.
A moment’s mistake, a clumsy word unsaid
Echoes throughout, there’s a drill inside my head.
Pulling my hair out, one long, wavy strand after another
No pain, no hurt, just something to feel.
I’m crying out so loudly, but nobody hears.
As I tug each strand, my worry begins to disappear.
Chewing my nails down to the bone
Tearing the skin off like the fear I hope to shed.
Why can’t the fear just wander somewhere else?
Please get this out of my head.
Slapping my face with my right palm.
From comfort to the opposite of bliss.

Falling straight down is so much easier.
Trying to feel something other than this.
My thoughts are a tangled mess, a knot I can't seem to undo,
Searching for a feeling, something other than overthinking about you.
Why does this numbness linger, this heavy, ugly pout?
Lost in the quiet, unheard, while crying out, there’s tape on my mouth.
A restless mind, a tapping foot,
Seeking a sensation, something to feel
A whisper in my ear, a brush of breeze against my arm
Longing for a feeling..
This is my self-harm

on Feel Something from @Geezer
"that knocked the wind out of me! I know what the urge feels like, but found different outlets, and managed to avoid it. I hope that you manage too. The use of ellipsis is many, only this time, I think the A.I. is right…" -

About Me
About me
I am a poet who turns emotion into rhythm and honesty into art. My writing is deeply personal, often exploring themes of love, self-image, insecurity, acceptance, and the complicated ways people see themselves and each other. I naturally gravitate toward rhyme and lyrical flow, using poetry as both self-expression and reflection. Through vivid emotion and vulnerability, I aim to create pieces that feel raw, relatable, and real.
