Run

Sometimes I lay in bed, and whilst I should be sleeping, I can't. I can't. I can't because suddenly I feel as if I can't breathe. I am trapped. Trapped in need. Need to run in the cold, need to feel the icy bite of pain shooting through me as I crawl out of my window to run in a world where I feel everything and nothing at once. A world where the boom of fireworks overwhelms the detriment of the supernova inside of my soul telling me that soon there may be no light left. I want to run into the bitter nothingness that is both everywhere, and nowhere.

Big Sal, thank you! This particular piece of mine has a lot of meaning for me and I'll take your critique into account while editing it.

Lots of emotional tourniquets in this piece. Should you go? Should you stay? The comfort of bed, and the longing for feeling something, anything at all. Lots of juxtaposition between the positives and negatives in this poem. Even with how you wrote it as one single stanza, the emotion easily seeps through. The only current critique I can offer, is to try breaking it into more than one stanza and see how it fits you and your style. If you like it as it is though, then so will everyone else.? As of now, it is a good read though.
