Uneven Equilibrium Poem by Pranesh Varan

like a shadow in the dark
like music to the deaf
and like colours to the blind
everything seems surreal
i walk away from everything i feel
and choose to be oblivious
to all the people and voices in my head
a quieter place, a lonely hut-i run to
with valleys of serenity
and mountains of solitude
but is it worth it?

even though emotions can be dangerous
when left uncared for
chaotic even,
to a point of sheer absurdity
it's the only fragile bit of hurtful memories
i have that reminds me of my past
and where i've come from
but is that enough to let those chasms be filled
with void distractions called feelings?
honestly, i dunno and i just dont care anymore!
