Do not feel that ****** emotion
Drown it now, or you will fall
Living life with no devotion

Mind shall fill with noisy commotion.
Do not reach for friends to call
Do not feel that ****** emotion

Longing for a magic potion
Drown it all with alcohol
Living life with no devotion

Feeling life without no motion
Being alone I start to bawl
Do not feel that ****** emotion

Swimming in mind like ocean
Feelings, feelings hide them all
Living life with no devotion

Wishing for life to return in slow motion
Keep them hidden behind a wall
Do not feel that ****** emotion
Living life with no devotion
I wrote this while feeling the pressure of showing my true self to my mom. My mom has always been someone I've wanted to impress. I can never get enough, I need her validation for everything, and being creative was never something she cared about. I guess she never really cared for anything that she wanted to do. This is my first poem I have written since the 7th grade, so I hope you enjoy, or can relate in some way.
