Frantic

Do you ever feel this way?

Gasping gasping
Drowning drowning
Clawing at my throat
I’m frantic

Screaming screaming
Crying crying
Banging my head
I’m frantic

Sick in my own skin
I’m scared
I don’t wanna die
I’m frantic

Hatred spilling from inside
I’m lonely
Don’t wanna be alone
I’m frantic

Choking choking
Suffocating suffocating
Pulling my hair
I’m frantic

 

Bleeding bleeding
Crawling crawling
I lay alone
I’m frantic

Disgusted with it all
I’m frightened
I don’t wanna be here
I’m frantic

Can’t take this

I’m hurting
I don’t wanna go on
I’m frantic

 

 

 

Don’t like to feel this way
Coming apart inside
You put me here
Then run and hide

Memories separate me

From the ones that I love

Over-complicated

And there’s no one left to trust

 

You got me frantic

I said you got me frantic

You got me frantic

And now you don’t speak

 

You’re frantic too

This poem had me stuck in my own pain I endured. Wow, did you write this for me? Honestly, I am a rape survivor who is still going through the jury trial. This poem was quite emotional to me. The words were so powerful that I just read it straight through and started all over again, to realize how great the rhythmn is. You penned this well and I must say, you have talent.

Wow, this takes me back- I used to write like this in darker times, and this really screams to me. You've done a good job of making the poem exactly what it says. Frantic. I really get it. It's dark, honest, simple in a way. Good work!

this is a brilliant poem. you really capture the state of being frantic...for me this is a full on panic attack, with the other person or memory of that person a trigger for this hellish state of mind. i do like the ending a lot.
