Unheard, Unfelt, Unseen

Loss of the five senses list poem

This song was my inspiration when writing this.

You do not see

My frustration

My rising anger

My deadly resentment

You do not hear

My fiasco of fears

My flurries of worries

My fading visions

You do not taste

My bitter wounds

My acrid aftertaste

My peppery fury

You do not feel

My clammy skin

My oxygen deprived head

My breaking bloody heart

You do not smell

My sour advice

My sickly apprehension

My decaying disinterest

So I only have one question for you…….

Why are you still here?

    Quite strict and one could learn a lesson from it.

    Oof! That's a harsh piece. And my answer is the same as Kendall's.
