The Book Slams Shut Poem by Axley Jade Blaze

Tell me would I be more beautiful-
If I spoke just like you?
Would I be more willing,
To do the same things that you do?

Superficial and dead.
Yes, dead to the core.
Feelings are overrated,
They appear such a bore!

I felt them ALL once.
Yes, I felt them before.
Then I felt as if I was dying,
I knew I was not able to handle more.

I gave up emotions.
I became cold and displaced.
I wiped all the tears,
which were streaming down my face.

I couldn't handle emotions.
In love, then in hate.
So I ran from my feelings;
Ran from such a weakened state!

Rage now ensues.
Sometimes I feel it.
Even my anger,
I can't seem to reveal it.

Life is so fickle.
It's all false, fake.
That is why it is this planet,
Which I now realize I HATE!

I want to cut myself,
To see if I'll bleed.
This book now is finished!
It wasn't worth THE READ.

So I'm slamming it shut.
Yes, I toss it to the ground.
No hate is lost...
Only scorching passion- I found!
