Understand This...

Understand this,
I will not say it again
and I will not remain
in this forsaken state.

Be it as a Joker
or even as a Poet,
I will fight
in my own right.

To rely on someone
a partner
but I went down asunder
knowing that it has to only be me.

Is it lonely?
Is it pathetic?
I just don’t see it any other way;
A hopeless tragic.

There is no use to shout
or to even scream out loud
but to only accept the truth
and keep going forward.
