Abyss

by Guilty By Design   Jan 29, 2019


Solitude has never been more uproarious
A constant chaos of this and that… never-ending
“You did this to yourself.”
Wide awake, can’t tell apart reality
A 100 beats frozen in a moment
Sinking… forever sinking…
The mind is unforgiving.

    I agree with Mr. Darcy, uproarious is definitely a $20 USD word. You packed so much into your short poem, it is not always that our conscience is the one that accuses us, Satan is a master at it!
    I agree, that sometimes, it can be the hardest thing to forgive one's self.

      Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it. I think some people under estimate how powerful the mind is.

    Firstly, I like this poem, especially for the word 'uproarious' that is really a good word. :O)
    We often beat ourselves up, saying we did this to ourselves. Sometimes this is true, but often there are a few reasons for fate. Still, after the palpitations have ebbed, I think you'll find forgiveness.

    I just wanted to suggest an acrostic. You have 'say wast' at the moment, by adding an 'e' line you would have 'say waste' this would, I think, ties in nicely with your theme.
    Just a thought.

    Take care

    I really like to read small poems that are packed with an overload of emotion.

    Your word usage is placed just right and it allows the visual display to come full force from start to finish!

    and I just want to add I really love this poem :-) I'm nominating this poem, just wow!!
