Lines Poem by Sakib Choudhury

I implore to you with all my heart

Dont leave me alone with myself

For I fear whatever it may be that I can do

For though the enticing voices give me solace

They on occasion like to play with the psyche

 

Tis well known that solitude is what I prefer

Instead of interacting with those people

For their mundane problems bore me

As they do not know what it is like to suffer

To suffer so much that the only way to end it

Would be to consider slowly releasing lifes essence

 

yet here I stand in want of a companion

Any companion just to keep me distracted

From the ever whispering demons

Their words are like sweet nectar to the brain

Lulling me into a sense of false security

 

Suddenly those honeyed whispers turn vile

so vile that though the meaning is clear

The perception has been greatly altered

 

Yet something from within still battles fiercely

But the defences built up are crumbling

Crumbling so fast that lines become blurred

therefore lines that would never have been crossed

Will no longer act as a barrier anymore
