Self inducing sickness
As another wave of nausea
Crests and threatens a wipeout
I can’t stand much more
As the ugly and grotesque visage
Compel my stomach to turn
And the horrors
Dancing in my peripherals
Lacerate my mind with fear
This can’t be true
Why is the happening?
At every turn
A disgusting revelation
Around every bend
Myriad mortifying affronts
Inducing uncontrolled vomiting
With painful spells
Of dry heaving
Every time I think I break through
I’m confronted
By the revolting bloated whore
That haunts me like a shadow
Shaken
I begin to crack
Until the unrelenting trauma
Drives my heart to break
And the unstoppable tears
Bleed from my eyes
Lost
In a twisted maze
Of self loathing
That constantly reaffirms
My fears
Without an escape
I’ll waste away into nothing
In my house of mirrors

Why is the happening?> Why is this happening? ?!?!
anyway, i think your poem lost the deserved intensity since you didn't you any appropriate punctuation to go with your flow. i really liked reading it loudly, but apart from it's beat i think it lacks the power to bind the readers emotionally. i did see subtle alliterations and imagery at places.
i just think, you could have done more with it. probably a revision would do.
thanks for entering.
