Raw Confines

Raw Confines               by Sami Khalil

 

Rejection stings when we acknowledge facts

For some sentiments are hard to swallow

It takes courage to accept certain acts

Vital is acceptance when minds wallow.

 

Sorry for the rant which I can hold forth

It is tied up greatly with survival

Those who want good fortune must earn its worth

True values are not dead on arrival.

 

Last time I checked life was not so perfect

Irrespective of ghastly spectacled lines

Give feedback to self before being wrecked

For all are burdened within raw confines.

 

Many carry pain into an art form

Bleeding on life’s pages, blaming the storm.

i fastened my bonnet as i knew i'd be reading another sonnet. everything has a price and truth and other such things are costly but well worth their price. truth hurts but can also be liberating. that which comes in raw form is most flavorful but can be hard to digest. good food for thought ... :)

I totally agree with you dear poet and friend. You always unlock the truth in our works and shed light on concepts. Brilliant man indeed. Thank you kindly for all. Your friendships is priceless.
