A Dark Well Poem, by Samer Amin, at My poetic side

Sometimes we can fall an easy victim to our delusional thoughts.

These illusions can be our acquired way of how we could see and perceive the reality around us.

These misinterpretation of reality usually stems from the deep-seated fears that run deep within our psyche.

And the more we leave these fears without direct confrontation and without addressing their underlying causes properly,

the more they gain the upper hand in the way we perceive reality or the way we make decisions.

These fears were formed during the early developmental process of our psyche.

And they were buried deep in our subconscious mind during our maturation progress.

They are buried over there, in a dark well, at the deepest point of our psyche.

There, in this dark well, these irrational fears are guarded by a terrifying monster.

There, in this dark well, a terrifying beast protects our greatest fear.

There, into this dark well, lie our bondage and captivity.

There, into this dark well, lie our imaginary incapability and limitations.

There, into this dark well, lie our false beliefs and superstitions.

There, into this dark well, all of us should descend, lit a torch, defy the monster, and bring out our Eternal Salvation.
