I cannot tell you
I’m afraid
I dare not tell myself
I’m lonely
at the core….
A surge of passion
swelling, swallowing
leftover sanity
threatens to engulf
my voice
I cannot tell you
I’m not dumb
I dare not tell myself
I lost my voice
crying hoarse….
I refuse to flow
with mainstream currents
Become an obstacle
for influencers,
powers supreme
I cannot tell you
I disagree
I dare not tell myself
I’m beleaguered
with no remorse…

I like this description: “swallowing
leftover sanity”

Very well done Reena. The repetition really works well. We often consider our feelings a small detail that we should hide, suppress, or over look. You have shown what happens when we fail to feel.
