The Perfect Storm Poem
Trigger Warning: This poem contains sensitive topics, dark imagery and graphic depictions of suicidal thoughts. Keep in mind, this is just a poem and not to be taken out of context. Unfortunately for others to hear, I do have a rather dark-toned voice when it comes to writing stories in a poetry format. See this as self-expression and a way to transmute pain into art. As I am already seeking professional help.
If anyone is sensitive to this topic, please do not read further than this message. Your mental health is more important than my art.

My arousal
Is it depart from this
God-forsaken planet
Permanently
Not tempted to look back
At the past mistakes
Filled with unfathomable regrets
How can I or anyone close forget?
The relationships
I have obliterated
And ended prematurely
Perhaps it would be
Sapient to fly off
The nearest cliff
To finally end the prolonged
Suffering once
And for all
Aspire to vanish
In the midst
Of a perfect storm
Or arrive at cosy
Setting that is warm
Who am I fooling?
I cannot live on
Like this
Spiralling into a
internal abyss
Inner peace
Shattered
Dreams and hopes
For the future
Battered
Into a million pieces
Before my eyes
As if my whole life
Have been a
Big fat lie
I often flirt with death
Through living in
A heedless manner
Who gives a toss
about a defective planner?
As I strolled
Through an eerie
Swamp
Appeared to be all in black
Absences of any hue
Colour it would lack
Descending into more
Intrusive thoughts
Then stumbled into
an invisible web
All caught up thus far
Accepting the entanglement
Just as peaceful
As a spa
Ironically….
Futile to break free
From my own shackles
Cannot saved through
my own insanity
Perplexed in the
Stygian and chilling swamp
Contemplating on
My life or future
In profound estrangement
And dread
Stream of tears
Began to shred
“Is this what I truly desire?”
I questioned
“Who am I leaving behind?”
If only I can
Rewrite the past or rewind.
