Crashing the Norm

Crashing the Norm

A Poem by Dhasi

I’m irritable

Not in the way that some may think

Responses to prejudices

I externalize only to internalize

Love is a private matter, sometimes hidden even to I

I am wary

May I offend you a little I pray?

When I put the question mark at the end of your fact

Introduce I, the uncertainty that boggles your mind?

Prod, prod, till bleeding in pain you rise

And stand to reason. Judgment question. Facts discard. Faith just faith, blind or otherwise

 

I am controversial

Rules steadfast at times. Creative license I plead

Nothing in black and white. Even grey is illusive at times

I overthrow the period at the end of the sentence

I favour the semi-colon, the comma

The question mark has held me captive

I am immovable

So long has it taken me this path to pave

Why do you judge harshly and expect I’ll cave?

Maybe too primitive

No reason to change the person that is I

 

An enigma

'Tis all I aim to be

However, I confuse myself

This too is necessary

Not known if there shall be any growth

But what terms is this to be?

I am. I will be. I will see.

If tomorrow will be granted me

Stumble I will through set paths and rules

Crash course to eternity?

Death maybe. For some. For me?

Tomorrow, we will see

*Sigh.* I hate this part. Been a fiction lover like forever, right from those one sentence reading books in grade one. Poetry successfully courted me in my adolescence and has been a faithful love.. more..
