No Name Feeling

[Dr. Gonzo]

I write poetry all the time. I consdier myself a poet. Here is one I wrote sometime this year...

No Name Feeling

I don’t know this feeling
It really has no name
You may think that I’m reeling
I need no petty fame

I have never felt it before
Perhaps I’m rather strange
All I hear is laughter
It’s clearly past your range

The ceiling won’t stop shaking
My mind has come undone
There’s trouble in the making
Perhaps I’m simply numb

Inside I think I’m dying
I think that is alright
Perhaps I’m only lying
Just don’t turn on the light

In darkness now I sleep
I really am a creep
But that’s alright with me
As long as you don’t see

Great poem. Did you write it about your own feelings or are you voicing someone else’s pain?
