Poem Title:
Poem
Prolog: This poem is about how much you need to struggle to ‘survive’ as an accountable and matured man. Child demands what he desires and the man sacrifices his desire, to fulfill the child’s. It’s funny how you would be made a king for a day, and then a ‘somebody’, or even a ‘nobody’? Moreover, as you grow up, linearly, the problems breed exponentially like bacteria. Yes, it is true that the assimilative power to bear the offsets increase as you grow up too and how we breathe with the mere hope that one’s integrity pays back at some point in life. These verses symbolize the seldom hidden pain as adolescents in antithesis to the trouble-free life of a kid. Being a four year old playing with crayons, it’s all about you and your own little world! The journey is tough, the journey is loathed, The journey is necessary, the journey is promising From learning to put on the bow-tie, To responsibly having the handkerchief in your pocket, From experiencing the toughest times And still standing upright like a ship in a storm Like never before, Manhood, here comes, like a raging warrior, Resilient in form, stronger than its former, And kills your innocence; darkens your heart. The journey is tough, the journey is loathed, The journey is necessary, the journey is promising Life slips by ‘unlived’ and under cut-throat competition Little merry-time, patchy hangovers and a far-fetched ambition In trying to enrich and reclassify his social status Life is yet adventurous, travelling rough miles Reshaping himself, constantly adopting new lifestyles, Every so often, he needs a little time, damn-it In the end, faith grows numb in breaking the habit It’s flabbergasting dad, how you stood up on your feet Such burden of liability on the shoulders, how can one keep? Politics was detested, conspiracy unheard of. But now only has become an essential strategy for survival Pain only makes him stronger, Thanks Kelly Clarkson; that makes our belief finer And brings a hope of fresh revival How true Darwin sayeth! Fittest subsists, and the rest are extinct species. However, gratitude to such reformation The inception of adulthood, cognizance! Teaches him to be & believe himself; thus push his limits farther Only critical moments, binds his relationships sturdier The journey is tough, the journey is loathed, The journey is necessary, the journey is promising. Inspired by : friends, fam, eminem, linkin park, my fellow poets, my world
