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
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.
