A burning rose.

I am going to allow myself to feel
How my veins burn
All this lethal love I carry
In my heart for you

I am going to allow myself to feel
Till I can't feel no more
How my sense of self falls apart
With just one thought of you

I am going to allow myself to feel
Till I can't feel no more
How I so badly want to feel nothing for you
Fuck you and the urge to love you

I am going to allow myself to feel
Till I absolutely feel nothing for you
Like the day just before I met you
The calm before the storm

I'm a Ugandan poet. I started liking and writing poetry back in high school but I never got serious about it until I went to University. Poetry for me is an escape; an outlet for all the noise in my head. It is a way to process my thoughts and feelings in a way that is hopefully relatable to others or moves people. I believe we all experience life in similar ways and if my poetry can touch one person out there, it's all I ever really want. I hope you can enjoy and relate to all the chaos in my head.
