Numb From Rage
June 23, 2023
Cold to the touch
There’s ice in my veins
Now its snowing on my parade
Can you sense the hail
There’s a storm brewing up
Bowing down to the ice as it burns my skin away
Frost turns into flame
The ice has set me ablaze
Glaciers ignite
Lava from rime
oh, oh
Once brittle and fragile
Now a flash and agile
oh, oh
Flicker, Flickr
turn on, turn off
desire incinerates the wariness of ice
Fire turns you to ashes
With the glaciers I drift, away from shore
This is what is to come
When the ice makes you numb
And to the fire you succumb
oh, oh

Hello everyone! I am Akshaya, just a normal teenager trying to find her way in this world full of pathways and dirt roads leading to different places I could never even imagine going to.
This poem is the first one I have ever published on an online platform, and I really hope you can connect with this poem which I wrote when I wasn’t at my calmest or happiest.
This was my way of expressing my pent up feelings, and honestly a a sigh of relief, actually, more of a ‘ yell’ of relief. What’s yours?
