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."
