Russell Sivey Poet Free verse

Terror Beyond Imagination

I’ve become stagnant, unmoving
I seem to unmake everything near me
What once was, is no longer true
I harbor terrible feelings of imagination
I bear the unthinkable in my chest
I must carry heartache and tears
The world beyond makes no sense
And I am in the center of all chaos

Russell Sivey

I picked this poem as my favorite due to it's depressive nature and gloomy feel where the poem is filled with wild imagination and strong visualization. I can write some really gloom and doom poetry but none that I have written are really this good, to this extent. This poem is my favorite poem(for now).
