This feeling

I don't know
What it is
I've never felt it
Until now

This feeling

Did I do
Something wrong
Something bad
That I shouldn't have

This feeling

Confusion
Remorse
Sadness
What's the word

This feeling

It hurts
Make it stop
End it all
Go away

This feeling

It's overwhelming
It consumes me
I can't think
I can't fight it

I can't fight this feeling
A try at some free verse poetry. I don't know what to think of it at this point, I've never really done poems before. Please comment and let me know what you think :aww:

One of the strongest good qualities of this poem is how well you worked with short lines. You told a story and conveyed a message without any excess information to distract from the meaning of the poem. Very direct! <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/l/l…" width="19" height="19" alt=":la:" title="La la la la"/>

I do recommend, though this is more a matter of a writer's style, to add question marks when a line is an interrogative sentence. Punctuation isn't necessary in poetry in most cases, but for a line that is asking a question like in the forth stanza and so on, it often looks more professional if a question mark is added. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/n/n…" width="15" height="15" alt=":nod:" title="Nod"/>

Good work on this one! Keep writing!
