You have kept me numb
And shivering and shaking
And I can't feel myself
Because you have decided to be unexpressed.
If you could come in words,
'Twould have been better,
If I could write you in letters,
But you stay unexpressed.
While others cry out and weep.
While they express their wounds and pains,
It's hard to express mine
Some words are better left unsaid they say
If only the tears will fall,
Maybe I will heal fast as others do,
If only the tears will fall
And I will have the chance of expression.
But at this rate of unexpressiveness,
I will just wait as long as the pain takes,
I will heal peradventure
When the pain slowly fade away.
Thank you for your time.
My pen doesn't bleed, it speaks, with speed and ease.
Still me,
My tongue is like the pen of a ready writer.

This makes me smile cause I remember so many times it would be easier if I cried. Those times I wished I was a baby with parents to care for me. But somehow that season pass and all the pain just goes away lost in the long memory of time. Pain, Time, Memory are "mysteries."
You have kept me numb
And shivering and shaking
And I can't feel myself
Because you have decided to be unexpressed.
I can say you truly wrote this from your emotions and feelings. The sentence "I can't feel myself" makes me recall some of my silly childhood memories with Anna
Mr Ola, you are the best!!!!
Beautiful poem. I like the ending as it is very important that every pain needs time to heal. It doesn't matter how long the pains last but it will eventually heal with time.
Your poems are always wonderful. Today's poem actually hits a serious point, Which is pain. Most of the time when some people feel pained over something, they begin to think it's the end of their life, not knowing they just need a little time to heal
And when a person cannot fulfill all these things, he keeps thinking and thinking and goes into depression and goes into trouble and from tension the person also starts getting diseases and then the biggest loss is that Humans leave this world soon, so it is better that all people should understand each other and treat each other well.
Your poet are always emotional and touching. Poetry but always passing a messages to others. Well am not surprised my mentor you are born to inspire the world.
Many people going through one or the other pain which they can't explain to anyone, some can't wait to for the pains to heal and they concluded in their mind to give up. Not knowing that there's time for everything to expired. Let me call you origin of poetry 😀😀😀😀. Happy to read your post today. Best regards to your lovely family ❤️ @olawalium
Your post beautifully captures the struggles of unexpressed emotions and the contrasting ways people cope with pain. It emphasizes the power of communication through words, and how it can be a cathartic release for some. Your self-awareness about your own difficulty in expressing yourself and their belief that some things are better left unsaid is thought-provoking
Great poem, it's a bit strong since pain is part of life itself, many times we don't want to express ourselves but that's ok sometimes, some pains heal fast as well as others that take a long time to heal, in the end time is the best counselor, hugs my friend ♥
Some situations will keep you groaning and in silence.
That's because we feel we have not found anyone who is worth disclosing it to.
Or because we feel this distrust
Or we actually feel there is no much disclosing it will do for us.
So, we just lock up and get through it all by ourselves.
Life could be that tough sometimes.
But we keep living and we keep trying to affect some positive changes to make life better.
Every line of this poem says nothing but the truth. Especially as it relates to being a man. It's often very difficult for us to express our feeling.
A problem shared is a problem half solved. Sometimes the so much needed relief comes from just letting go, talking to someone and having an open mind.
Thank you for sharing ❤️
Nowadays, every human being is living in depression because the way a person thinks and works hard, he cannot get all these things even in his whole life, because now the time has changed, the era of inflation has passed. The house is also very difficult to manage and only a man can understand this pain because this responsibility is on the man and he has to take care of his house, wife and children and fulfill their responsibilities.
