I Write It To A Poem Poem by Phurpa Wangdi

dreadful thoughts
haunts me like a prey
nightmares in my dreams
leave me paralyzed
i have feelings
long submerged
like the titanic
on the ocean floor.

i want to say
all those feelings i feel
yet my body gives way to fear
i shake and tremble
for i am a coward
courage never my trump card
and so i write it to a poem.

i dwell in your shadows
tailing you all way round
hiding when opportunity knocks
procrastination, a sword i always carry
for i am afraid
i will make you hurt
for i am a friend
you have always said
and so i write it to a poem.

actions never make me bold
pent up emotions
insomnia it forth brings
bags under my eyes prove it dwells
inside i am dying
i put up a artificial smile
making myself regret even more
and so i write it to a poem.
