What is this I feel?
As if nothing in my life seems real
Confusion engulfs me
Please wake me up from this reverie.
...
I am grappling to mend my heartache
I am vulnerable, i am easy to break
Happiness is just impossible to feign
Somebody, please take away my pain.
...
I gaze into your eyes
I see a reflection of myself staring back
What is this emotion I see
Can you also make out the same passion I feel?
...
I cry in the silence of my privacy
Can't understand the turmoil and intricacies
My mind is sorting out the practicalities
But my heart refuses to see.
...
Glum and resentful for the failed friendship
Thought for a while I could never recuperate
Took no notice of places we have been
As they bring memories of great pain.
...
I cried in the silence of the night
Tears of pain I cannot hide
My heart constricts in anguish
Of the love lost forever, I wish.
...
Wandering through the wilderness, her soul feeling restless
Not knowing where to go, not minding where the path is heading
Narrow roads unending, winding even entrancing
Trails hold a mystery, inviting and hypnotizing
...
You make promises to escape from your weaknesses
Promises that most of the time make you feel helpless
What makes you feeble, what makes you so vulnerable?
Why make a vow at all, knowing it will just lead to trouble?
...
It was pretty innocent
Saying hi/hello and how are you at first
Exhanging pleasantries and jokes
Nothing serious, nothing momentous.
...
I put on a happy face, laughed with people and friends
I acted as if I didn't care, not minding the hurt that prevails
I looked at my phone, arguing with myself whether to call or to stall
My ego triumphs, leaving me shattered and mournful.
...
How long do I have to bear this charade
That I still have the interest over our marriage
You know the zeal is long gone
You just don't want to concede that we're done.
...
Insecurity
What is this I feel?
As if nothing in my life seems real
Confusion engulfs me
Please wake me up from this reverie.
I have so many questions
Yet, deep down I know the solutions
But still I can't understand my insecurity
Will somebody explain this anxiety?
I am crying out for help
But nobody seems to comprehend
Can't you at least notice
This atmosphere of unease?
One day in the season of hope
I pray that I will have the fortitude
To let somebody look in
And journey with my uncertainty within.
