The Hermit In Her ChairA Poem by miceonvenusI don't really write poetry. I just felt it would be the best medium to convey my emotional state. I think I might get into writing poetry more, but I want opinions first.She sits in the adhesive chair Tensed in hesitation, she stares Enveloped warmly, sweetly, gently Darkness cradles her tight, lovingly She allows herself to descend, so deep In brief syrupy respite, it will creep Harshly startled yet not surprised in any way Alike jarring moments scatter across the day Choked hatefully, frantically, tormentfully Panic grips her in sheer desperation, beastly She is vastly frightened yet also indifferent Yet also intrigued by it’s great demand, important Yet also disabled, entrapped within it’s hypnotism Yet also contaminated by it’s non-hermitism She is filled with surges of lust for what she cannot have Seduced by visions of boundless potential, she will pave, Phony pathways forged within an inaccessible realm Incomplete directions towards a beautiful freedom A chance at infinite emotion, divine energy She pictures euphoria, yet it is heavily foggy Blurred deeply by agitation, by fear, by where she stands Or rather sits, stuck to the ground, ignoring her command Panic cries out, begging to be listened to considerately It warns of what is to come if she discards opportunity What will die if she continues to turn the other way, Purposely blinding herself to life's abundance, delay Delaying an exhilarating leap into the existent realm Constantly looking past beauty never accessible again Bypassing much of what contributes to one’s humanity Who notices her vanishing from meager existence? Nobody For she has already reached a point where she is so faint, so frail It is far too late for her to be saved, she knows that she will soon fail She cannot form her rapid thoughts in a way fully decipherable Unable She is now, Simply too exhausted Simply too frightened Simply too confused Simply too unconfrontational Simply too negligent Simply too lazy She sinks into darkness again Respite’s sweet caress leaves tearstain Certainty provides mild comfort Comfort creating discomfort © 2022 miceonvenusAuthor's Note
