Tears I cry are not tears at all
Dejection I feel has made me fall
I feel no wind, but yet chills occur
Hands pat my shoulders, but yet I feel no comfort
This vaporous state I've brought myself in
But nothing's pushed me, yet I begin
Big open fields, where sun does not shine
Quills I feel prick me from behind
Yet no matter where I turn, I'm always looking back
Not understanding myself, yet feeling bad
I lay in my room with this feeling of ennui
Staring at my wall with tears of despondency
As I watch my ceiling fan create circles of trust
I think of how I could not be the same, cause I've already given up
Tears I cry are not tears at all
They're regrettings of past actions I happen to recall
I feel mortification and I don't know why
I don't understand why they're not tears I cry
Or why dolor is a feeling that describes my life
Or how fast all those good days went by
I guess you could call this letting go
I guess you could call this an entangling hole
But I guess I'll never understand why
I'm trapped inside, but I've finally realized
That this is what I am, Sensitive Am I

I can totally relate to this poem.I know exactly how you feel and how terrible it sometimes feels to carry such a sensitive soul. A lot of the times you dont even know why your upset either and why things still affect you. But like I always say, being a poet is both a blessing and a curse!

Great job! I love the flow and rhythm of this poem, how the images and words build upon eachother, yet the line "Tears I cry are not tears at all" keeps repeating itself. You're a great writer; keep it up!

"As I watch my ceiling fan create circles of trust"

I love that line. It's so poetic and image-inhancing :)

The over-all poem had a lot of feeling and rythm, and your vocabulary was exeotic and artsy. Kudos! <3

This is beautiful! I love the flow, and how your voice really comes through. I think at parts you are a little repetitive, but other than that, great! You can really feel the emotion. would you or anyone else mind reading my poem The Pyramids? i was just trying out something new and i need some feedback, from people other than just close friends. Thanks! :)

Love is not forbidden but it is a risky to fall into,but if its real-than you should stay true. Love is a funny thing,it cant be bought like a diamond ring. Love is greif and pain, you feel lost and insane.Love is a wonderful treasure,keep it forever

I have gotten the same corrective critisism about trying to break y ryhme scheme and try free verse. I suppose I would suggest the same thing to you. But I think it flows really well none the less. This is a great poem and I really lie your choice of words.
