pathetic state

by Michele Schottelkorb

i write this prose with so much sorrow

my pathetic state, with no tomorrow

poor young woman in this land

beaten with, her own sick hand

makes up thoughts inside her head

to feed her fury, her mind is red

brought this all upon herself

dust is collecting on her shelf

wastes her time, and her Love’s too

everyone asks “what’s happened to you?”

it’s just a phase that never ends

her twisted life she never mends

 

i write this poem with so much sorrow

i wish it would disappear tomorrow…

     (please disappear tomorrow…)

Hoping against all hopes. There's nothing permanant in nature. Nor any 'mood'.Life situations too are subject to the law of accident. And mental state depends on the intensity and quality of impressions. 'it would disappear tomorrow'...its not a wish but a certainty based on the LAWS. In any case, you have succeeded in presenting the state you call 'pathetic' while hoping in the hopelessness..

Right on! This poem comes too close to a situation that I am all to close to right now! 'Nuff said! Is it coincidental this poem I came upon? Somehow I think not but rather providential as I consider tired and wan.
