Tears try to flow like unruly streams
But They are held back by the dam of indifference
Anger bubbles inside me like boiling water
My cowardice makes it lukewarm
Frustration piles up like a river in flood
But they are pushed back by a wall of apathy
My dreams rush forward to become reality like a river tributary
But are shattered by the blow of procrastination
Happiness tries to gush like a fountain
But a shameless society puts a lid on it
My thoughts are vast and deep like the ocean
Useless until they help a ship reach its destination
Helpless until someone build a bridge over them
But harmful if they become a tsunami
Nice poem here thanks for joining the Poetic Ink Community on G+ and for sharing your talent with us. I will curate this poem for sure and share it elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteThe duality of life most definitely presents such a reality. The Yin & Yang style mentality is what I sense here in this poem, as one views life as a struggle with reality it itself.
