Numb From Rage

Cold to the touch 

There’s ice in my veins

Now its snowing on my parade 

Can you sense the hail 

There’s a storm brewing up 

Bowing down to the ice as it burns my skin away

Frost turns into flame 

The ice has set me ablaze

Glaciers ignite 

Lava from rime 

oh, oh 

Once brittle and fragile 

Now a flash and agile

oh, oh

turn on, turn off

desire incinerates the wariness of ice 

Fire turns you to ashes 

With the glaciers I drift, away from shore 

This is what is to come

When the ice makes you numb 

And to the fire you succumb 

oh, oh

Hello everyone! I am Akshaya, just a normal teenager trying to find her way in this world full of pathways and dirt roads leading to different places I could never even imagine going to.

This poem is the first one I have ever published on an online platform, and I really hope you can connect with this poem which I wrote when I wasn’t at my calmest or happiest. 

This was my way of expressing my pent up feelings, and honestly a a sigh of relief, actually, more of a ‘ yell’ of relief. What’s yours?
