There’s an umbilical cord wrapped around my neck
that I can’t let them cut.
Without you, I’m just me.
That might not be enough.

I can’t feel my essence inside.
I’ve been this child all of my life.
I’m terrified.
Run and hide.

Label me sadness or smartest or smoker
label me drunk so I don’t have to stay sober

I can’t find a center in me.
My borderline personality.
I’m empty.
Please befriend me.

Label me sluty or sorry or stoned
just label me yours so I’m not alone

I want to go home...

eh...
i used to post poetry here way back in the day and get tons of feedback. now when i post something i don't get anything.
does my writing suck? what don't you like about it? I wanna know so i can grow and get out of this "no response" rut...

thanks

you should try posting your poetry on deviant art you can get constructive responses there.
