Burnout...

by Sean Dohr   Mar 30, 2006


It's hard to gauge all this rage that I feel.
It's hard to cage all this anger that's real.
It's hard to contain all this pain that's inside,
but inside me forever, this pain will reside.

I feel that things around me are moving too fast.
My body is in the future, while my mind's in the past.
Problems from before hurt me now even more.
This isn't just a battle, it's an eternal war.

An internal war that cannot be let out.
A raging fire that will never burnout.
Although, I wish this pain never came,
I refuse to become just another derailed train.

    Again, the use of the derailed train. A great metaphor - it shows disaster and creates a feeling of pity towards the poet from the reader. Awesome poem, the first stanza was excellent.

    Peace. [Sole]
