“But I am not dead

So I know

it’s worse than I fear

Because its more than I know”

That’s the kind of line that sticks with you! I love your poem!

this is how you begin a poem!! im obsessed with the imagery here, the metaphors work so well. amazing poem, truly beautiful in a melancholic way

Omg!! Starting got me Hooked!! And somehow I just feel that the ending line is a rhetorical question! 'Why is my spirit upset?' and that's when you've either drunken too much of this inconsumable intoxicating drink— life or you've bled to the point that you are hoping for answers before SUNRISE, before all that blood dries and leaves a permanent mark of your sadness! 🤩 I hope my interpretation makes sense lol😭

Yes it makes sense. Thank you for your interpretation. Its thoughtful. I wrote this while I was drifting off to sleep, so you're correct about that point.

Heartfelt and beautiful. Those questions we ask on a sleepless night, searching for answers in the quiet dark.

Just checked this poem out.

this poem here is very absorbing yet quiet, and you can feel the spirituality in it (in my opinion)

it seems that your soul has been awake for ages trying to sleep for so long, but the moment you do, your gives you backlash with anger, not letting you sleep.

powerful.

I must say this is amazing. I could feel the unaligned while reading. Felt as though I’ve met a soul whom lost themselves in the thick fog casted into our lives
