SHUT IT!

I am told to let go.
I am told to hold on.
I am told to open my mind.
I am told to close it.
I am told feelings lie.
I am told to listen to my feelings.
It's all so confusing.
It's all so frustrating.
I am tired of all the irony in life.
Life isn't supposed to be an oxymoron.
Why does everything have to be moot?
I try my very best.
But, how can I if I don't know?
Trust is gone from me.
Faith is no more.
I've been betrayed.
I've been let down, again.
And I am angry.
Do not tell me any more.
I'm not listening.
This world goes as it does.
Life is trampled underneath it all.
I have foot marks all over my back.
So, don't mind me if I just ignore you all.
I won't even listen to myself.
I just cannot tell one thing from another.
 I don't understand what it all means.
Does anything mean anything any more?
Just, everyone, shut it!

  1. Love your poetic writting, at this moment of my life I feel great...then out of the blue come these thoughts, feelings that you have written about. Everyone around me seems to have it made & I can see it in their eyes the wonder of what's wrong with me.
    Your writting has giving me comfort, not sure in what way but I enjoyed reading it.

    1. Thank you Yani.
      No one in this world has it made. Nothing is sound, nor is anything guaranteed or promised.
      It's a daily struggle for every one.
      Any one who says otherwise is lying.
      THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU!!!
      It's the world and life that is all messed up.
      Godspeed Yani.

  2. I came to read one and read this instead. This is really nice about how everyone wants you to speak up but shut up. So true in today's world of contradictions and rules.
