Unfeeling

 

I am immune to the pain and the sorrow.
I am immune to the fear of tomorrow.

I am immune to the love and the hate.

I am immune to the want of a mate.

I am immune to the rise and the fall.
I am immune to the ache in it all.

I am immune to the stereotyping.
I am immune to the slipping and sliding.

 

I am immune to all manners of feeling.

I am immune to the comfort of healing.

Would be sort of nice to be immure to all the things in the poem. We would know no pain or sorrow. Thank you for the excellent poem.

i felt pain for so long i am numb to it.

i like this...feel like i'm feeding a mixture of ferlinghetti and sexton...

you can't heal if you don't feel the pain.
and if you don't feel the pain, then you aren't really alive.

sometimes we go through so much that we DO just get numb.

and we won't allow ourselves to feel, it is too dangerous...

a few different times, i got my shots.

and didn't dare feel for a long time...now someone has me feeling again...and it's good.

nice poem

Instead of being elementary, this repetition truly makes the poem. It's hard hitting and shows how strong you are deep down. Mad props lovey!

Thanks. :)

I love this poem of yours. I have felt this kind of pain! It has taken me quite a long time to cope and become happy once again! I have had to witness to divorces in the past from my parents.. I have found piece within myself in my soul and constantly reminding myself I will get through this pain... Very well written :)

[Kes]

Thank you.

now this piece, follows all rules of sadness, enjoyed this well written piece.

I think this is powerful. The rhyme scheme helps this to flow really well, even with the repetition. In regards to that, this is a good length for this to be, since any longer and that phrase would get old. Interesting piece...interesting ideas.

This is darkly delightful, I'm not typically a fan of such repetition, but you pulled it off very well to say the least and that is not an easy thing to do.
