An Outlier Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

An Outlier



Sitting alone
Inside her thoughts
Enveloped by turmoil
Everybody has deserted you
Her thoughts keep telling her
You are ugly and unworthy
The persistent thoughts are relentless
Digging deep into her emotional secrets
Her mind is a whirlpool of nasty thoughts
Spilling venom all over her body, mind and Soul
Her thoughts have overpowered her
In a bid to steal her Soul

Let's stop and listen
For those sobs in the middle of the night
Or those unprovoked tears
Or those unprovoked tears
The subtle changes in mood
The loss of interest
The blank face

Depression is real
