POETRY : SUFFOCATION

SUFFOCATION

Something snaps; pulls me underneath,

With sheer gust and overwhelming strength,

I know I can resist, but I can’t fight!

His resolve remains unquestioned.

I am a frail, tethered leaf,

How shall I fight the multitudes?

How shall I seek my way?

Through this unnerving crescendo!

Never belittle life, they say.

We chose what we chose to be,

Yet I feel that fallacious drive,

To blame my alter-ego at futility!

Why can’t I give in?

To this suffocating paranoia!

I am not gasping for breath,

I am in dire need for.

Deep down my haunted past,

Something flickers…

I wish I was bold enough!

I wish I hadn’t dawdled;

At the expense of uncertainty!

The longings are no longer mine,

I didn’t know when I was sweetly strangled,

I don’t know, why a day fades away,

Moments came and moments went,

I wish I could turn away…
