Courageous Misdirection

The courageous conformity, voluminous misconceptions run after them, like a lasso trying to control the game Either everyone adheres or coerced into a twist where thoughts take a convoluted shape The audacious performances of fake seriousness, with a sophisticated script dramatically unfolded A misdirection, a vehement push to control the psyche; each and everyone through trained institutions Depreciated thoughts, usually they facilitate the mediocrity to … Continue reading Courageous Misdirection

Deprived

Paroxysms translate the restlessness, and peace is not pleasurable Painful it may occur, but there are numerous instances of broken promises Deliberate actions contrary to the soft-spoken assurances, but lies evolve Again and again, because furious feelings are unsettling, extremely melancholic Manic winds pass through the wretched and wrecked environments Lifeless, harsh, and devastatingly greedy to demolish the scarce abundance Depleted landscapes, brittle trees, poisoned … Continue reading Deprived

Turning Away

When you turn away, do you have time to collect every little memory In haste, a swivel changes the direction of focus that once meant the world An obsidian space transformed into an undulating terrain of suffering Unprepared heart afflicted by the unnatural turn of events Fate changes in seconds, tremulous feelings weaken the foundation Opposing gazes express the vitiated relationship with a clarion call Ousted from … Continue reading Turning Away
