Fighting Sandstorm

The daily struggle of a weirdo. Inspiration was taken from a song called "Fist Fighting A Sandstorm"

The pain is hurting me
Swallowing me deep down
I feel so insecure
In the midst of this town

I want to fight
Just to become who I want to be
To explore the truth
And to live life like it’s meant to be

Sometimes I feel like I’m wearing too many masks
I can fake a feeling and pretend to be fine
But deep inside I’m just scared to let them into my head
As I feel like being intimidated

When I’m alone I’m sad
And when I’m around I’m anxious
I think I am being rejected
And nobody seems to care at all

All I want is to free myself from
The sandstorm that frightens my soul
Which takes everything from inside of me
Left me alone with agony

This sandstorm isn’t a natural thing
For me atleast
It’s rather a strong addictive game
That never seems to go away

It’s unpredictable and comes without a warning
But I think I have become too tired now
Boxing with my abilities isn’t what I was taught
I just want to outshine

Just to never let my important people down
I am a rollercoaster of emotions I believe
Who just wants to be heard one day
And to find a direction for myself
With the hope in heart that someday
I’ll be found!

Metaphorically , one could be out in a sand storm and become stripped clean by the tiny grains of sand. then a new day starts......

Your emotion comes pouring out of this, and seeps into you.

Your flow is almost lyrical, I really enjoyed this piece.

I really like this poem! The imagery, like the sandstorm and the roller coaster, makes the feelings come alive.

It si sa very good poem. I enjoyed it and could feel your emotions flow through your words

A good poem, brother. You have brought out your emotions and the things you want to express in a clear manner. Your poem is engaging and keeps the reader enchanted till the end. Glad to read your poem.

HEY, it was really amazing....

those were true and pure emotions. and i liked the style of your writing. they flow like a song.....and is intense and deep at the same time. i wonder why you added 6 lines to your last paragraph?? your poem was in a 4 line pattern, wasn't it?? and it'll be more attractive to present your poem without this blue highlighter and lines a bit spaced. or else readers will have a trouble confusing between different words!

the poem was super by all means......awesome to be specific. write more of these poems with pure emotions. and stay awesome :) ATC

Deep and real. I really enjoyed reading it. "sometimes I feel like I'm wearing too many masks" ... I love that line. Your poem feels very real, and it's something many can relate to. You are sincere with your emotions and have captured them very well. It is also well written. I like it and I am looking forward to your next posts.
Keep on writing!
P.s. Maybe you could avoid the blue highlight however. Made it a bit hard to read in my opinion.

Hey. Thank you!
Yes, I mean I dunno why I even made that blue highlight lol. :P
