I read to forget I read to feel I read to escape I read to heal I read to remember I read to distract I read to connect I read to backtrack I’m okay when I read but it hurts when I don’t Characters are my friends when my real friends won’t The words are my freedom from this desolate kingdom Isolated by feedback and uncontrollable flashbacks I need release from the pain To breakout of these chains They torture my brain looking to blame I keep running away from the grief in my mind I’m tortured by thoughts I’m not ready to find I’m trying to outpace my agony and resentment But my only liberation is to accept contentment My bookcase is filling with more empty reads Who am I kidding, what more could I need

I Read
I read to forget I read to feel I read to escape I read to heal I read to remember I read to distract I read to connect I read to backtrack I’m okay when I read but it hurts when I don’t Characters are my friends when my real friends won’t The words are my freedom from this desolate kingdom Isolated by feedback and uncontrollable flashbacks I need release from the pain To breakout of these chains They torture my brain looking to blame I keep running away from the grief in my mind I’m tortured by thoughts I’m not ready to find I’m trying to outpace my agony and resentment But my only liberation is to accept contentment My bookcase is filling with more empty reads Who am I kidding, what more could I need
I'm fairly new to poetry. I love to use poetry to express certain emotions or feelings, but I'm still figuring out my style and learning more about it. I would love any criticism or insights you could give!
