Thoughts Run Loose: A Collection of Poems

Tell Me About Yourself

I can't breathe sometimes
It is trapped under the volcanic rubble of my throat
I can't speak sometimes
I learned this
Shut up, sit down
No opinions, no feelings
No problems
I can't love sometimes
It's hard when everything you have loved is always turning on you
I can't fight sometimes
My body feels weak
I fall into a void and I hope nothing catches me
I want to be free
That's all I want to be
I want to know who my friends are
I want to know love
I want to know hate
I want to know
I want
But I can't
And that's who I am
