Two
edges pulling me apart
Insurgence
of mayhem within this heart
Incertitude
all around
With helplessness
I am bound
Like
a flame on last few drops of oil
My
belief flickers in its own turmoil
Reality
engulfed in its full-blown darkness
Bit
by bit desiccating all of my strength
A tug
from this side, a tug from there
Stuck
in a quagmire in the middle of nowhere
Keep
holding on to my intractable faith
Or
should I become pliant for kin’s sake
That
thing on the left, should it be heard
Or should the grey matter be allowed to have the final word
Articulate
in my thoughts I haven’t been since long
Floating
on thin ice, I ain’t looking oh-so-strong...!

ReplyDeletethe last line is so beautifully expressed. The mind and heart play a tug of war to cause turmoil and anxiety. Who wins or loses ? It causes further pain.
