Devastation- Poetry
With words lapping like waves on the sand
I don’t understand the fire in my heart
It feels like a rows of buildings collapsing from the sky
Like a puzzle made by a child
And here I am standing in the mist of it all
Wondering where it all went wrong
This urge to grip my flesh
And pull it down in vain
To lessen the burden of pain
The shining stars turn to silver daggers
Close the curtains
I cannot bear it anymore
This feeling that budded so softly
In the pits of my womb
That turned into a mad, craving monster
Tearing me apart
Like the fireworks
That rip open the sky
I am going mad in this spiral of words
Whipping me back and forth
But please
Tell me what I did wrong
I’m a sunken ship in a battle of fleets
All I came for was a little bit of love
My heart has sunk into the depths of darkness
Enveloped by slimy, black hands
Strangled by black veins cherishing my love
I am devastated
This deep and thought provoking poem is about how as we grow up we sometimes begin to change for the worse without even realizing it. We conform to society, we let our individuality and creativity die, we forget who we are to be what everyone else wants us to be. But it destroys us on the inside, slowly drowning us in the depths of our own repression. By the time we realize this it can sometimes be too late and that is why we must consciously make a decision to be different, to stay unique, to make ourselves happy before we try to please others.
