Describe a feeling you dont have a name for
We all have felt feelings we cant explain with a word, well now your free to explain it with poetry/ writing instead...

Undermeyou in Poetry & Free Verse

sometimes right when I am about to fall asleep, I get this feeling that I need to scream

it's a specific ache

sleep is stealing over the sheets

i cradle a lover

i'm dizzy-heavy, all muscle melting into madrugada impending

a bird is tucked under its wing

the bugs have gentled their glow

i'm weighted eyes

i'm floating bones

i'm thanking clouds for holding out another hour

i'm almost there

my chest tightens

my throat constricts

i'm an almost dream

i'm haunted by a crying spell

i'm at the edge

my voice curdles

i hold the scream

i fail to sleep
