Deterioration

[Lose 881]

Hidden in a corner, where they can't see me cry

They won't know I'm hurting until the day I die

When they read what I had wrote, it'll all start to make sense

Why I said what I had said and why it had to end

 

"What was wrong? He was fine" they'd all start to cry

But that isn't true, it never was, it was always just a lie

"Fake it 'till you make it", I took that saying to heart

Everything we know is just life's harsh work of art

I hate that it had to come to this, but this is a last resort

I've done all I could, and you have too, but it could never start to sort

Destruction, mayhem, all covered by a veil of lies

It was never really true, merely just a good disguise

 

Yin and yang, heaven and hell

The clock strikes midnight with the ringing bell

Anxiety suffocating me, drowning out my voice

Depression drowning me, leaving me no choice

Corruption, deception, manipulation, degradation

People can't be trusted, and I'm not an exception

 

Deterioration, erosion, it all happens to our minds

It's only a matter of time before the work gets undermined

It's time to go, it's starting to show

That I'm not who you think you know

It was never meant to be

I'm finally set free

 

Deterioration, erosion, it all happens to our minds

It was never meant to be

I'm finally set free

 

Deterioration, erosion

It was never meant to be

 

Deterioration, erosion

I'm finally set free

 

 

It was never meant to be.

 

I'm finally set free.

 

 

Deterioration.

^{Well, this one wasn't fun to make. I write poems whenever my depression or anxiety is at very high levels, and the latest month or so has been no exception. Hopefully you guys like reading it more than I liked making it. More writing will be coming soon. Perhaps. Maybe. See y'all before 2022! (I think)}

Approved!

very short poem, can't stress this point more... the nerve... posting articles without meeting the 400 words requirement... what has the world come to

Ahem

Dealing with mental health issues isn't easy at all when you try to do so all alone. Depression is very much real, and acknowledging this fact is the first step towards recovery.

The Lose has returned to the AWS with a wonderfully written poem, "Deterioration", describing feelings which we all have experienced in some form or the other, at some point(s) in our life. This very much relatable piece will surely resonate with most of us.

Amazing poem Lose! Great Work! As expected from you.

You are one of the best writers in the AWS. Good to see you back into action. I really expect more articles from you in future. Keep up the good work!
