Confusion

the confusion of life, can be all too consuming

 

Confusion

 

By: Lalli

 

 

There are reoccurring moments in our lives when we experience a state of confusion

A mental illusion eluding the truth from our minds

We try to find a solid thought to grasp

Instead we get caught, entangled in an even larger web of delusion

The more we fuss, the less we trust and faith escapes

We become an arachnid's bait

Introducing us to a potently induced injection of frustration

As the bitten poison circulates our veins

It's an intrusion that breaks the strengthened gates to our brains

Flooding hallucinations

Cause sanity to drift off with black sails over the horizon

We are then left in the darkness of isolation

Only to float lonely through the space of an unfamiliar place

As we face our deepest fears lurking in the shadows of fate

Trembling from an uncertainty of the unknown

Hesitant of making decisions with no control

Embarrassed by the nakedness of being vulnerable

and humbled by the loss of hope

So we relocate to dwell in the cave of insanity

Making the situation worse from our Impatient need to understand

In a time when we are far from ready to comprehend

Since it seems that clarity is not meant to be till after the conclusion of disparity

When the fields are cleared of visual obstructions and all can be seen

As the obstacles of adversity are over come and opportunity is waiting

But what do we do till then?

Until the light is revealed from behind nimbostratus clouds

When we are aimlessly walking amongst the crowds making u-turn turn-a-rounds

Never set in one direction, bouncing off human bumpers of deflection

When we are deeply lost in the seas of self reflection

Drowning in the sorrows of pity

Wallowing in the shallow depths of misery

Distracted by the sentimentality of our pride

We begin visually interpreting through two eyes out of focus

Blurred in the midst of reality

Convinced that we’ve hit rock bottom

Deceiving the truth

Perceiving only anguish

Forgetting to cherish that we have 10 fingers and 10 toes

Unless you don’t have all of those at least you can say you still have your soul

That why its suggested to take each step one after the other down a straight line

Because each day will bring you closer to the light shining down on good times

Remember that strengthened character will be built

Hope will come

Followed by the wisdom from experience

That the answer to your diluted thoughts will be shared

And what once seemed monumental will seem trivially clear

Since theres a storm for every season

A reason behind every treason

So quit worrying about having mixed emotions and erratic thoughts

Eliminate the anxiety that you’ve caused

Live your life to the fullest from dusk till dawn

Because its ok, sometimes we’re wrong

So why keep guessing in efforts to be right

Swallow your pride, take a risk to enjoy the ride

And sit unrestricted in this rollercoaster...

We call life

I had a long deep conversation with my room mate last night... since this seems to be where i'm at in my life. It was eye opening, and today i awoke with a renewed purpose and understanding to the day

Incredible insight.. journey...
into the human mind, emotion..

And it is all so confusing,
yet so unbelievably simple at the same time.

We make it complicated...

Personally, I think I'm bordering
insanity lately...
But then, what is insanity,
really?


"When we aimlessly walk amongst the crowds making u-turn turn-a-rounds

Drum roll......

"Quit worrying about having mixed emotions and erratic thoughts
Eliminate the anxiety you've caused
Live your life to the fullest from dusk till dawn

Damn!!! when I was reading this my shoulders became weight less. My mind was free from fear. We have become so wraped around the lil things, that we don't see the bigger picture in life or the poeple in our life! We have become selfish in God world. That we are starting to skip the details and never look outside the square box!

In your poem. You touch on the subject of... Quote:
"Quit worrying about having mixed emotions and erratic thoughts" So true. I just have to say that, I've have been thinking about where I want my life to go. Then I realized how much time I have wasted, but then I can't say I wasted anything, Because I'm not the type of girl to sit back and watch people talk about my life or do it for me. I want to be up close and doing things. I know I'm a hard worked!

And my favorite part is:
