​Taint

And now, I’ve reached the darkest part of me

Will I battle and die?

Or get out alive.

My past keeps eating away at my brain

Like filthy maggots chew on a corpse

And I have to refrain

From sounding too hoarse.

I wish I had something more meaningful to say

Something less encrypted

But at the end of the day

A lonely poet is all that I am.

Sometimes I wish I was different

And most of the times I lie

Just like I did right now

I always wish that I’m different and cry.

Maybe, I was born too soft for this cruel world

Too kind hearted and trusting

Now all I do night and day

Is think of memories and keep fussing.

It’s like I’m always a temporary

While everyone to me is permanent

And I have to watch them come and go

Like rainy clouds in the sky.

Soon enough the memory of me

Will leave you too,

Then maybe you’ll see

How all that I said was true.
