When Nobody Helps

When the brain inside debates 

When the storm inside abates

When sleepless nights assassinates

When the past creeps in and investigates

When ego surrenders and guilt arrests

When memories walk past but time awaits

When every thought inside procrastinates

When fear dies and tear evaporates

When utopia hides behind society's gates

When fate says you are not mates

When dilemma stays like a mistress

When the heart plays in distress

When her absence still affects

When your dream disconnects

When your own love suspects

When you lose nerve and frown on your defects

When you break down and hurt yourselves

When you succumb but nobody helps.

Mannish, This poem really provokes a mental calculus with the X in the equation yet to be determined! Took my mind on a roll. I did keep wondering what “Then—“ would follow all those turbulent “when’s”? An editing note, in line3, “nights” should be “night” to fit the plural rhyming verb.power pen. Nice 2 meet U ……sally

Love the monorhyme - it adds to the mood of despair which you present here. Well-done, Manish. Welcome to P-S. I guess if you need an answer to What if, then for me that would be trust in God and His Son, Jesus Christ. He went through the same rejection and maltreatment; but we are the winners in His sacrifice and He regained His rightful place in heaven with God the Father in time. Give the author of time His due.

Thanks for sharing this. Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." The Lord's blessings be with you. Thus, may I conclude your poem with... "There is GOD Who loves you, and such eternally reverberates."
