Relieved

It was this one particular day where everything just started going downhill for me. About a week later, something changed and I wrote this beauty.

No more stress built up in my chest

I can finally sit down and take a rest

I don't have to run or hide anymore

I don't have to suffer or fight to endure

 

It's a sensational feeling that has come over me

It's a warm to hot feeling like a hot cup of tea

No more aches and pains hurting me so

No more stress and anger lingering wherever I go

 

I have found it in my heart to forgive and forget

The pain people caused me from the day that we met

I don't know what it is that is easing my pain

But I can see clearly without stressing my brain

 

My eyes have opened up and so has my soul

This sensational feeling has swallowed me whole

No more feeling left out, angered, or decieved

It took a long time but I'm finally relieved.

"This sensational feeling has swallowed me whole"
This poem has such strong imagery and a powerful attitude. I love how you're open to constructive criticism but in all honesty I don't think this poem needs any!!! :D

Life can change so quickly. Your poem tells a real story. I like the gentle story and hopeful emotion of your poem. I know the feeling of this poem. World can overtake me. Seeing my two grandsons make me smile and thankful to be alive. A excellent poem.
