The color of thoughts
The inside of the skull
Solitary confinement of mind
Aloneness becomes loneliness.
Nothing is more universal
Revealing the delusions of living
Experience this life without life.
The limitations of logic defeat
Expose the heat of his breath
Don’t let him breathe on me.
I really enjoyed this poem. You have a great way with words on this one "Aloneness becomes loneliness" was my favourite line, because its message is so true, the half-rhymes are very flow-y, and also because you put something in a very unique way. This was a great poem.
I always try to give suggestions to things I read, and I have a couple here ^-^ First, I just recomment that "him" is captialized, to better represent some sort of a higher being we are not in control of, so people can interpret them different but reach the same meaning. "Don't let Him breathe on me." I think leaving it open to whether it's god or devil could improve the ending and cause the reader to think. The second suggestion is about some sentence structure. You used a lot of imperative form a lot but it did not refer to the reader, I think it refered to loneliness or the symptoms of. It becomes a little choppy at times, so I think adding a subject to your sentences could help a lot.
That's all, and I really enjoyed this poem, no really! :D Keep up the great work
