numb

I am numb to all feelings-
that's what I said.
he keeps toying with me
he has me set up
but it hurts,
it really really hurts...
Sometimes,
I forget that it is just play
never thinking of his attempt

so, I say that I am numb

yes, numb
but-

never before have I been so full of feelings.

I like the twist of the last four lines. you have a plot and it is really interesting then the last four lines really plows it home! interesting... i enjoyed!

I think this would be made a lot better if you showed the readers what you were saying, rather than told them. I think people would be able to relate to this a lot easier if we could see images of the pain.

The emotion does pour out of this one in a very direct way. For all intents and purpose it is not negative for a poem to be full of emotion, its more down to how you use it. So actually, you have here a very good starting point to redefine the way you use emotion. Good work so far, just take time to do plenty revision.

These poems are done with emotion but would be better if what you're feeling was in the poem as a subtle hint rather than an obvious cry of pain.
