How can you sort
things
When you are not even
sure of yourself?
When what you like
and you don’t
When what you want
and you hate
Is not even clear to
you?
How can pain exists
When you tried so
hard to guard yourself?
When you have built a
barricade
When you have covered yourself
So hurt won’t pain
the slightest of you?
How can things be so
unclear
When they are as
simple as can be?
When the things that
are easy to understand
When the things that
are easily afront
Are hard for you to
take?
How can one’s heart
be discerned
When one’s heart is
unsure?
When a heart has been
covered, barricaded
When it has been hurt
and has grown weary
Is it even possible
to call it a heart?
"How can you sort things
ReplyDeleteWhen you are not even sure of yourself?"
...To trick yourself to believe
What you want yourself to believe
Not what you need to believe
Is the only way to say that you've sorted it out.
"How can pain exists
When you tried so hard to guard yourself?"
But that milli...no, even nanosecond
That you took off your armor
To breathe; to take a break
Is the opening pain was waiting for.
How can things be so unclear
When they are as simple as can be?
Because we read too much into it
We give our own meaning--
The truth that cannot seem to fit
Because it was never meant to be.
"How can one’s heart be discerned
When one’s heart is unsure?"
The mind is placed above the heart
And this is the reason
Why amidst all the confusion
The heart is discerned
Because the mind recognizes
The thing that it covered, barricaded
It saw the one who got hurt, got weary
And thus, it thinks it is the heart.
Astonishing always, Sheena! You do nothing but make us think. think and think. Because only through thinking do we truly discern. It's always refreshing to read your works! >:D< I love you!
I loved the first and last stanzas and I got confused in the second and third - makes the poem true to its title haha.
ReplyDeleteOn a personal note, time has its ways of clearing things up - you'll get through with your doubts ;)
Exactly! Hahaha! >:D< Thank you!
