Unapologetically me

_lonely__side

There's a great fire

The fire of dead and long-lost desire

I desire to be free, to be unapologetically me

I desired to be someone I imagined myself to be

 

 

I desire this because I am not free

My hands are tied I AM NOT ME

I had my directions but I got lost

I was late to realise that nothing comes without a cost

 

I sold my pain in exchange for sorrow

I killed my present and won an even cursed tomorrow

So now I pass by hiding from days

Comfortably alone and empty in this godforsaken maze

 

I am searching for a bright light and that's for a reason

I think this might not be my lucky season

When my time finally comes, I'll scream it to all things dark in me

This is what I held on for. Come meet the brave fighter I have in me

  • Comment from author about the poem: It's about the feeling of being alien to yourself and losing the grip over your own life due to a thousand small and big moments which you could never have guessed take you to a point where you feel low and where each day every waking moment becomes a constant regret.
