[387] How To Dissappear Completely

I suffer in order to not sufferā£
And because I do ā£
I try to make use of it ā£
and make the suffering singā£
The world protests atā£
my wasted life ā£
and the times I could have ā£
avoided what I felt ā£
but I gave in ā£
broken ā£
at seeing the relentless wavesā£
crushing at my soulā€™s weakened rock ā£
ā£
I speak in order to avoid speaking ā£
And because I doā£
I find questions easily ā£
and avoid answers trying to find meā£
For they will have found me ā£
before I found myself ā£
An admiration for circles ā£
The promise of certaintyā£
The elimination of surprise ā£
I run in order to reach the extremes ā£
but i end up finding fragments of my ā£
dissipated lifeā£

    • Hey Shruba. Yes iā€™m doing well and thank you for asking. How are you? The title is a reference to a song by Radiohead which is sad but a beautiful one at that šŸ’«

  6. I do not read poems usually, they do not hold my attention. This one did, as it mentioned one of the annoying repetition humans make: “avoiding” stuff, that in return happens even more often and/ or more intense. Allow me to share something your poem reminded me of:
    “Give evil nothing to resist and it will disappear by itself.”
    Better said: if would place our attention/ thoughts/ energy on the things we want (instead of placing that same energy on the things we want to avoid), then the game changes to your favour.
