2023-04-15_DISASSOCIATION, A POEM

Edward Hubbard 1983 (Salt Lake City, Utah)



I'm in this body
It does not feel like my own
Light-headed
Teary-eyed
It's my face in the mirror
Confused and scared
When will it stop?

About this poem

    This is not too bad. But one could argue that a bit more is needed here to makes the poem have more to get from it. As it is now, it seems that it leaves too much to the imagination. Do you agree?
