Tears I cry are not tears at all
Dejection I feel has made me fall
I feel no wind, but yet chills occur
Hands pat my shoulders, but yet I feel no comfort
This vaporous state I've brought myself in
But nothing's pushed me, yet I begin
Big open fields, where sun does not shine
Quills I feel prick me from behind
Yet no matter where I turn, I'm always looking back
Not understanding myself, yet feeling bad
I lay in my room with this feeling of ennui
Staring at my wall with tears of despondency
As I watch my ceiling fan create circles of trust
I think of how I could not be the same, cause I've already given up
Tears I cry are not tears at all
They're regrettings of past actions I happen to recall
I feel mortification and I don't know why
I don't understand why they're not tears I cry
Or why dolor is a feeling that describes my life
Or how fast all those good days went by
I guess you could call this letting go
I guess you could call this an entangling hole
But I guess I'll never understand why
I'm trapped inside, but I've finally realized
That this is what I am, Sensitive Am I

Very good! I agree with the comment about rhyming, most of my poems don't rhyme, but in this case the rhyming and the rhyme scheme is perfect. Trying something new is always a good idea, though, so you might like trying something a little different. This poem is great, and i don't think anyone can say that it isnt. Very good.

Nice work. I read a few of your poems, and I notice that you lean towards a set rhyme scheme most of the time, like this one has. However, sometimes rhyme doesn't work, and can seem forced, or overly repetitive. I would encourage you to branch out and try writing without rhyme and see where it takes you. Never stop writing!

Wow great poem! I think everyone at some point in their lives is able to relate to this, and that's one of the things that makes your poem so special :) If you have the time, could you check out some of my work? It would be very much appreciated.

I love this! Thanks for you comment on The Mirror! I read your profile, and I can relate. I wrote my first short story when I was five. It was about living ornaments that went around the tree and made conversation with eachother. I just looked at the original copy yesterday and realized that all my d's are capitalized and all my j's are backward! Great poem, bravo!
