Thoughts
Today has been Hell
No idea why , I have no one to tell
I guess I'm alone with my thoughts where I'm dying
I don't want to be here any more is it even worth trying ?
I used to be afraid of death and now my arms are open to dying .
Like trying to give a hug to freight train
Standing in the rain
A lighting storm dawns as the lights continue to gain
Closer and closer I'll close my eyes tight
Feel the rumble goodbye and good night
Eyes open wide , so that wasn't the end ?
Lying in my bed as it all starts again
No one by myside ,
No one would love me
My insides are soft
My face is just ugly
No idea why , I have no one to tell

Great emoting/evoking here ... felt every line ... smooth flow ... good line breaks ... nice job with the sustained rhyming ...

Hope this is just a poem, not a reality. Wishing you a positive and write day. Peace, oral

I feel that for me the ryhming scheme almost diluted the emotional impact of the topic. It is well-written, well-structured and it IS very powerful. I think there is an opportunity here to extend, elaberate, continue this paticular poem further in a free verse / prose (?*) version potentially. The content has all the hallmarks in starkness of reality, rawness and truth that we love in Bukowski.
