So often you turn away from yourself
Escaping the deep concerns within you
Avoid listening to the ardent pleas
To set the paradise in order
Heart finds ways to escape the realities
Leaving the inner sanctum in disorder
Alienating the self in search of extravagance
Turning to false hopes to resolve the chaos
In denial most of the time
Your presence and true character in peril
An unknown alter-ego takes control
Every action leads to catastrophic results
Soon, the weakening soul gives in
Crumbling and disintegrating
Blowing away with the gusts of wind
A final escape from a tumultuous world
You have turned away and alienated life©

Amit,
Great poem as usual ! Very insightful.
How do you get the time to write so much ?
Have you published ?
I know exactly what this poem depicts- how easily man can change if required – of the original man, there will be nothing remaining, not even a shell.

Thank you, Susie. No not yet published my work. I feel I need to write more before I think of getting my work published. 🙂

I am sure you can start publishing on a small scale now and see how it goes. Being the perfectionist that you are, you think you need to get better and better and you are waiting for that perfect moment to publish, correct ?
