Emotion

Emotion

A Poem by Rachel DeHart

A sudden down pour of emotion. An instant

weight thrown upon me that I can not carry. Abruptly

I am your strong hold, the thing you now depend on.

How can I support you? How can I do this? Let alone,

how can you put this on me? Expect me to do this? I am

riddled with guilt, because I am about to tell you...

I can’t keep this up. I am breaking from the support you

need from me. Suck from me. I want to care, I do care..

but I need space. I can not hold you up while I myself

am losing control. I can’t keep this up. I cannot allow

myself to drown and give up. I have to save what is

here, before I can think of anything else. And even writing

this I feel an ache, a breaking feeling in between my

ribs. But I have to say it and I have to stop this.

I’m sorry. Because I care so much about you, I can

not let this keep going. It isn’t fair to you. Or to

her.

Beautiful! It's aptly-named Emotion. Every single word was full of emotion! Great write! :D

Very well done, very well expressed. I can see some other meaning close to the end... Another girl maybe? You took a problem and wrote about the surface of it, which is very creative. A shell to another story. Great job.

Every day I wake up now is a gift, because I tried to stop the sun from rising. I find talking to be the hardest thing ever, but I am trying to find the words. My hair is a constantly changing cre.. more..
