Life Is...

Life Is...

A Poem by Asusa Susa
"

Emotional tragedies from personal experience, in a moment of silence, birth a flurry of sentimental outbursts through tears and a few simple and sad words.

"
Life is…

My heart and mind is a labyrinth of misery and despair, long before my birth.
A  place corralled  by the foggy mist of uncertainty.
I wish it weren’t so.
Yet I stroll long-faced and myopic never glancing back.

My head held high.

I search for an escape, looking for hope and security, not for tomorrow but for today.
To my dismay, I arrive hesitantly  towards a dying light, a spark in an endless abyss.
Where the hope, the despair, and the foggy mist finally burst.
Into infinite pieces, not for the very  last time,

It’s been my crime.

For I awake once more to the torture and pain of everyday living.
The price of being born.

Life is…

Did you write this to listening to bright eyes or john moreland?

take a minute and let your thoughts come in a spoken word without listening to music that sets your mood.

Life is…

Heart and mind is a labyrinth of misery and despair,
long before creation
corralled by the fog mist of uncertainty and black
wish color is not of darkness

stroll long-faced and myopic never glancing
head held in existence

search for an escape, hope and security, for tomorrow but for this moment
dismay, arrive hesitantly towards a dying light, a spark in an endless abyss.
Where the hope, despair, and the fog mist burn.
infinite pieces, not for the very last time

a crime.

awake more to the torture and pain of living.
price of existence.

Life is existence to the life..given

life is..

*My take and understanding :)
