PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Why does my whole body ache,

but my heart remains numb?



I don’t feel like myself.  

I feel like a phantom  

of who I used to be,

and I don’t know why.  



Pain has seeped into my veins,

and it flows through my moods.



Why can’t I be happy?

Why does everything

feel so passé, so who-cares?

I just want to smile.  



Is this the process of learning?

Is this a part of growing up?



I hope it’s just a phase  

because I can’t stand

this much longer

before it defines me.
