i smiled.

late night thoughts.

do you ever shut yourself out,

to the point where

you cant tell right from wrong? 

to the point where

you cant tell if you're sitting or standing? 

to the point where 

you cant tell if you're swimming or drowning?

to the point where 

you cant tell if you're crying or smiling?

do you ever shut yourself out?

Very interesting piece, and it definitely had me wondering. You did an excellent job with the repetitive words. Although it was a simple read, I very much enjoyed it.

Thank you for sharing, Lea!

Lovely poem!......however, it sounded as if it was moving towards a conclusion......just my humble opinion, but when I have "question" poems I like to offer the reader an answer (or a twist) at the end.

Yes. I do. I can totally relate to this poem. I do have one question to ask. Why did you call it 'i smiled'? I spent a while wondering about what in this made you smile.
