Why Do I Do The Things I Do Poem by Mona Lisa Aspiras

Why Do I Do The Things I Do

Rating: 5.0


Up and down
To and fro side by side
A maelstrom of confusion
Confetti from a crazy piñata
Raining like manna from heaven
Quenching my parched tired soul
My ideas come like this- tired icy hail, crystal snowflakes, -
beautiful to me, but they cause
Avalanches, blizzards, snowstorms of confusion in my mind and
being, and stormy fate.
Fare to my hungry soul, thirsty and hungry from an insatiable
appetite and self-destructive
Longing for more and more
Knowledge.
How much is enough.
I bury myself in this crystal
Ice-house.
Preserved, eternal, glacial,
Finally immortal.
Which is Hell.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I composed this exactly at 12: 45am, March 25,2018, after listening to a particularly fast-beat song, and being in a phase of my life of self-discovery, awareness and acceptance. It can be viewed superficially as a serious poem, but in reality it is all about self- deprecation and the comedy in the more tragic aspects of life. I'd say a subtitle would be: Amusing Confusion. More than ever, it is a poem of self-examination and discovery.

A lovely poem. Aprreciate the modesty of the poet is stating that it is an expression of self deprecation. May be, for her. But I loved it for its profoundity. It’s forthrightness. It’s sincerity.
