MENTAL ANNIHILATION

 

MENTAL ANNIHILATION

Oozing out silently, my thought seeps deep down into my nerves;

It kindles my heartrending feeling and makes me lament so bad;

The spirit that’s quelled refuses to show upon my nerves; but

It stays so quietly and seems to recede gradually from mind.

 

Feeling quite numb, as the emotion finds no vent

I shiver and shudder and put myself down!

Kith and kin and friends and foes got scant respect;

Persons in plenty I disgraced and dumped as trash.

 

I’m just stuck and my mind is in doldrums;

Haunted and hounded by the hostile acts of mine.

Never did I think I would be paid back!

In the same old coin with which I paid!

 

There’s no point quibbling about;

As the damage that’s done is irrecoverable;

Too late; yet, it’s worth a try; though,

It has reached a point of no return!

 

Yet, the question that’s asked is;

How much do I need to pay, and how much do I need to suffer?

‘Coz, the damage that is done is colossal and beyond redemption;

And the demolition that has taken place is a huge ‘Mental Annihilation’!

Author's Notes/Comments: 

 

Hostile acts of ours against our own kith and kin and difficulty in patching up after it has reached a point of no return.  At times, we kill our own feelings in order to demolish the minds of others for flimsy personal gains.  Later, we find it difficult to mend relationships and curse ourselves.
