Clothes Poem by Drich The Poet

Clothes

The year is numbered
But I can't remember the
last surprise I had.
Guess it's only on your death day.
I know I'm blessed
I've seen the reality of foes around me.
And I'm a commodity to do away with when used finish. Despite being human.

I've soaked them
And I've re-difine them
I've dried them
And I'm ready to wear them
Them: clothes.

Like clothes,
I got my emotions stacked up
In my drawer.
Suitable for any inconveniences
But somehow sometimes
I forget to take my tie along
As to choke any truth from escaping.

Like clothes,
I wear my emotions
Sad clothes when I'm down.
Specialties for ceremony 🎑
Of the dead: Confused.

Mask off to reality
I'm riding on the edge of a cliff.
Noon times I smile and give hope
To my peers and, behave normal.
Nights: I'm hanging on
I sit and talk to myself.
Scream at the clouds
Laugh at myself for what's wrong
Correct myself based on self conscious.
Then............

I shut down to escape this block of reality.
Took the pills of dreams to relive the moments. And chuckle.
Somehow smile appears on my chin

Waking up, first thing in mind
'Another day, huh? Well......'

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
ATTENTION It comes late but it's worth the while. This is a poem that talks about men's mental health. Though it is hardly spoken about and no one cares to acknowledge the fact that men also go through hard times. Clothes is a word I used in describing changes of emotions and how tough and difficult we become when pushed to the limits. It is not supposed to be like this despite what we go through. Pls 🙏 appreciate the efforts of men we are only human after all. We are not gods. #men #luv
