I feel as if I am falling
It feels like I am falling
I recognize my body gently touching the sheets, I endure the cold breeze lurking through a crack in the wall.
The edges of my view keeps filling with black...nothingness
Am I disappearing? becoming nothing, not worth remembering?
Describing feelings is like tearing down half-finished puzzles.
Holding on to a sharp knife pierced through my hand on the edge of tomorrow.
My mind is filling the blanks, there is no breathing room through the unbearable aching of a young boy, now becoming a man.
Am I finally accepted in society as a man?
Crowded hallways screeching, jealous...They are jealous, right?
I know nothing...
My mind drifts further away, disturbed by the physical and mental pain.
It feels like I am falling

this seems a quite powerful and deep piece of writing .. well expressed , i like your reference to the jigsaw puzzle, sometimes its so hard to describe how we are feeling when we don't know how to describe it

'The edge of tomorrow' Nice line. Haunting poem. It asks more questions than answers them. You will find acceptance in the end. Start with your own acceptance of yourself, I would say, then everything else should fall into place.

Great having someone who reads between the lines, and understanding the concept
