Living Hell Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Living in hell
Saturday,6th July 2019

I am devastated
and stand as unrelated
with relation to human beings
as I have failed to bring calm and peace

I am living in hell
but want to perform well
for the self and others
but find the worst fears

the enemies are firmly seated inside
and decide
my course of actions
but I am unable to offer reactions

I wish to be a good gentleman
and act as good and kind human
it spells or casts a doom
and there prevails gloom

I try to knock and smash the door
to earn the simple honor
for demolishing the evil inside
and deny the entry to reside permanently
