Fatigue
Insecurity
Brain fog
Restless legs
Odour sensitivity
Mouth ulcers
Years of pain
Agoraphobia
Low blood pressure
Generalised anxiety disorder
Infertility
Allergies
As thorns behind roses
An unnoticed pain behind every cute thing
A generalised fact
Salubrious slades
With scarlet splotches due to savagery
An organized act
(Please Note: this poem is generalised and not about at any particular individual)
It is so interesting how differently humans perceive each other
Our perceptions are often at complete opposite ends
I see someone to avoid and stay well away from
You see a potential friend
You see a good, kind and caring person
I see a performance to persuade
You see decent human qualities
I see an empty charade
You see honesty and truth
I see a deliberate ,deceptive twist
You see an admirable human
I see a narcissist
It is so interesting how differently humans perceive each other!
Can't stop flashbacks
Can't stop vibrations
Vibrations like echoes
Vibrations irritating wounds
Wounds that bleed
Wounds that torment
Torment the mind
Torment emotions
Emotions of guilt
Emotions full of anger
Anger from the past
Anger from shame
Shame that's distressing
Shame that's intrusive
Intrusive images haunt
Intrusive like storms
Storms striking like lightning
Storms louder than thunder
Thunder that's frightening
Thunder causing self-destruction
Self-destruction of the heart
Self-destruction of the mind
Mind acts recklessly
Mind reacts resentful
Resentful with regret
Resentful outbursts
Outbursts misunderstood
Outbursts they generalised
Generalised anxiety
Generalised questions
Questions of sanity
Questions of ability
Ability to stand
Ability to walk
Walk in fear
Walk through a hellish reality
Reality discarded
Reality unseen
Unseen persecution
Unseen war
War with life
War with time
Time is too intense
Time to surrender
Surrender to uncontrollable stuttering
Surrender to my misleading heart
Heart palpitations
Heart is numb flatline
Flatline
Palpitations...
