Stars of Clarity

As surging frustrations 
prey on neglected hearts 
and jaded minds,
washing away the 
resistance with 
blasphemous tears, 
trickling down upon 
suppressed fears;
I choose myself 
above all wounds 
and wicked souls with 
nefarious intentions, 
whilst drifting 
towards pains of 
hidden crossroads,
paired with 
stars of clarity,
guiding me away from 
repetitive galaxies
bursting with 
sunken astral clusters,
aligned in a 
black hole of apathy. 

When communication 
drowns down, with 
comprehension wasted—
near or far—
struck by sinful scribes of an 
ominous silhouette 
seeking redemption, 
yet upon a star-crossed fate,
I find beauty fraying at the edges, 
expelled by brimming hostility.
Sinister memories of yesterday, 
shape shifts hearts into
strangers in disguise, 
breathing in discontent, 
purging the hate that 
burns deep into my 
flesh and bones, 
where scars—old and new, 
like crestfallen stars;
drift endlessly towards 
its reclusive passing.

My gosh, dear poetess, I adore your impeccable poetic skills and the artistic way in which you weave emotions so effortlessly! This poem is absolutely well-deserved for the first place win & I can't help but be in awe of how deeply resonating this poignant write is.. I can connect to this in so many dimensions- "purging the hate that burns deep into my flesh and bones, where scars—old and new, like crestfallen stars;", "I choose myself above all wounds and wicked souls with nefarious intentions"

Ah my beautiful soul sis, do you ever write anything that doesn’t connect to me on so many deep levels? I see you’ve also used alliterations here and such descriptive diction to depict how one who is drowning in darkness choose to rise beyond nefarious intentions of the world. I am in absolute awe of the way you’ve phrased that so poetically in sheer eloquence, i love every word in this and this hits home for me as you speak my soul language. What a touching and powerful take. Congratulations
