Confidence Confusion of life
Ernest Shimrah *
Different shade of Light blinks and sound echoes;
Mask of light dawn within the darkness of mind.
Penchant to end; lay await on the verge to doom.
Stranger to self, betrayal resound, insecurity awakes;
The realm of life question itself, reason of being exists.
To what, I owe this sympathetic incited being?
That has no certainty although tried since time inception!
In the strength of an age and a world, individual prevail;
Just a dot in this infinite universe uncertain and life short:
Loaded responsibilities of all, expect more, in an imperfect mould
Creates disturbance of silence and a road to perdition
Reflecting life and time again and still, looks on for future
To what, I owe this sympathetic incited being?
That has no certainty although tried since time inception!
Conscience lie, mind trick and the world around corrupted
Reality an illusion, dream a morphine and system a madness
Every solution is yes and no, both of it, none of it, more and a nothing!
Than what conviction hang and balance life mediocrity to uprightness?
Diametrically corresponded sadness and happiness; bad and good!
To what, I owe this sympathetic incited being?
That has no certainty although tried since time inception!
