My Harsh Reality Pt 1

 

My Harsh Reality

Pt 1

By Sanina

 

Sidestepping the shadows from the past,

How I’ve always knew they would have the tendency to clash,

Heart pounding thoughts of Antarctic frost feelings,

Crying tears,

Well more like shards of glass,

Benevolence has gotten me nowhere,

Though I tend to stay empirical in my outlook on life,

Nevertheless I’m a novice they say,

I know nothing of the hidden atrocities that the world has to offer to me,

An offering they say,

As if I should embrace it as a gift,

A present perhaps,

Intrigued with making me knowledgeable with these learning’s,

I barter away my soul,

Only if in return I may have the chance to increase my level of intelligence,

Simply by divulging in these hidden phenomenon’s,

Having been lost in a reverie of my perception of reality,

I’m jarred back suddenly,

Misused and abused,

Should I refuse this state of being?

Should I thrust back my meticulous ways?

Despite the ravishing that took place towards my person,

I myself persevered an eloquent and effervescent disposition,

Trials and tribulations are constant,

Leaving me to decipher my feelings inside,

Negativity is my guiding light,

Outcaste for reasons I care not to explore,

I show the world what they desire to see,

So in fact no one knows the real me,

I’m a visionary of fantasy like things,

In a world of love and passion,

And constant happy endings,

Away from hurt and pain,

Away from death and anguish,

Reality is a periled place to be,

So I vacation there as it seems very seldom,

Out of sight,

Out of mind,

Nor do I see, smell, or hear this time,

So when my fantasy world starts to slowly dissipate,

I take my leave,

And pop a pill,

And bid reality a good day.

"I show the world what they desire to see, so in fact no one knows the real me"
I have to say that this is one of the most beautiful pieces of art I've read!
I love the honest, vulnerable, uncertain, mature, and yet artistic place you allowed yourself to be in this poem.
I can't wait to read part two!
