Premium Member Cocoon of Imposed Isolation
The hard times profoundly strikes ever so strongly my private space. Not to be invaded in the sanctum of the inner woods, I build a boundless wall seemingly impenetrable, creating a cocoon of imposed isolation for the soul to be preserved in the bliss of insulation. I become a lone prisoner of my making, captive behind the wall of false...

Premium Member Self Imposed Chains
She had bought into the dream captivated by the idea of wealth Given herself no mercy, strapped on those pantyhose like holsters. Envious of the women she saw on lunch hour who had on light dresses Manifesting in no way toward her soul self, enslaved in an office Became a babbling computer, spewing out figures, numbers, math. Hope and...

Self Imposed Limbo
Timid upon standing Flailing at equilibrium with outstretched fingertips Desperate to grasp that which is unattainable for now and conceivably forever Anguish consumes the frontal cortex as the lower brain pulls the strings emphatically Enlightenment is thwarted by an insatiable thirst for pleasure and unapologetic indulgence Sedated and aloof Injected with a serum that nullifies cerebral interjection The mind becomes a host for any poisonous intrusion Undefended and...

Premium Member A Self-Imposed Curse
It's a self-imposed curse, loneliness is perverse In self-pity you wash, in lethargy you slosh You care what others think, while your own ego shrinks You don't walk, you just slink -- in your eyes you just stink... But the truth, you should know, is that others tiptoe Around you 'cos...

Premium Member Her Own Self-Imposed Purgatory
folded into her own crinkled wrinkled newsprint self, delight and enthusiasm rapidly dissipate Torn pieces of herself languish in her own self-imposed purgatory joyless, she sees nothing of her former light. In greyscale, her essence waits in anguish for the return of self....

Premium Member My Self-Imposed Bad Tale
I followed her to China I followed her to Spain I traipsed behind her neck bones. I marveled at her brain. She asked me to please leave Which really hurt my feelings. She called the county cops. Which left my mind a reeling. I followed her to spinning class. I followed her to planets Z and Zoom. I followed her to her grandma’s. Where the...

Premium Member Self-Imposed Alienation
I’m lodged in this train on a top spot yet alone...while others trace a blue noon amiably, As dewed mist holds me immovable From my row ... the toot of a loud whistle makes me want to peep out restlessly. This journey is intermittent through my solos of night, where most wayfarers gig on--...

Premium Member In Isolation Self-Imposed
In misery she sits and sighs in darkness with the shades all closed. She counts her problems, stares, and cries in isolation self-imposed. In darkness with the shades all closed, she contemplates a world gone gray in isolation self-imposed, and troubles keep her joy at bay. She contemplates a world gone gray. Anxiety confounds her mind, ...

I invite this pain, Upon myself willingly; Plunging a sharp sword each day, Into my own heart, You cannot see my deep wounds; My own self-inflicted scars. I pen my sad words, ...

Self Imposed Exile
I want to go back to my country But I can't seem to find the way Poverty is blurring the coordinates With every passing day I want to sit with my family And speak my native tongue Eat my mother’s home cooked meals And feel that I belong I am happy to have the work I do At least it pays the rent But after...

Imposed Dream
The burden of chasing an imposed dream May thwart u fully or make u scream U cannot do justice,whatever it be, As though it is an apple on a mango-tree! The heart will never follow that way... Where it doesnot have a say... It loves to enjoy the comfort of freedom.. Even if it leads to martyrdom! So enslave your dreams like a...

' Imprisoned In My Self-Imposed World '
*^* ==================== Urbane cavalcade - flaunt in gaiety Warbling hymns in ego - cyclicity Jigging gracile moves in vivacity Relishing in zest in this gravity Kinsfolk in flamboyant fete - oh its fate? Smiles, elation in face delineate Like nothing's wrong makes me exasperate No one cares? No one adores? it's too late Recurrent nightmares peeve me in sublime Making incubuses remorse in rhyme Bequeathing qualm, fright...
