Confusion Poem by Abdul Wahab

Confusion

Rating: 4.9


I wanted to go right but went left
I wanted to go up but went down
I wanted to cry but I laughed.
I wanted in my life a displacement
But I found myself in the circus circle.

I wanted to sleep well but found awake
I did not want to think but found myself thinking.
I wanted them to understand me
but they forced me to understand them
To increase my knowledge I wanted to distribute
but they forced me to conceal.

I wanted to be straight but they taught me how to crook
smile with a hidden dagger behind.
I wanted to give them food but they threw them out closing the doors of mind.

They talk but words fall like yellow foliage dry
They love but this love is a bug sucks the blood, none can deny.

Lie and truth, life and death, good and bad, right and wrong
All mixed up with time, place and people, a total confusion.

When truth is not beauty and it is confined in
When falsehood is not ugly and it is spread out like perfume
Then your brain burn the fuse and you are totally confused.

The truth was drawn in this poem. Human are bound to have confusion about what was happening with them because, before any decision taken... many consideration must be given balance attention. Thanks for a real-life reflection poem...! ! !

This is life.... its confusing to me too... why we do things that are beyond our wishes... we want to heal the wound but in turn we are hurt... why we end up in a mess? ? people are out of reach and scope... never can understand them... I loved this poem... Very well... :)
