My Heart
Thump, thump, thump goes my heart
It’s erratic rhythm is off the chart
I can’t breathe, it’s tearing me apart
Thump, thump, thump goes my heart
Involuntary responses doing their part
Keeping me alive, like stop motion art
Thump, thump, thump goes my heart
Surrounded by darkness, I hate this part
I can’t believe I’ve made it this far
It’s all because
Thump, thump, thump goes my heart

Hello
Welcome to the site. Everyone else will be along in a bit.
Well done here. It’s free verse but it’s sort of not. It’s really close to being really structured albeit an arbitrary rhythm but they do sort of all read the same.
Excellent job with the onomatopoeia,
Tim

Wow...
Sorry I missed this one. It is very good, because I understand where you are coming from. Sometimes, I/we all feel like that; as if we could just shut down and let the rest of the world go by, but our steadfast heart won't let us. It just keeps chugging along. I am glad that yours does, because I really enjoyed your view here. Keep writing! ~ Geezer.
