The catharsis...

Like an ugly duckling storybook
the pages of my life flip-flop
crying out for attention,
for an unborn love,
that remains unseen,
hidden somewhere in the cartoon strips
of the ugliness that i feel inside me
making me realize somehow
the unworthiness of this whole world...

...the world goes round and round
trying to prove its innocence
over its misgivings,
but i stand still, fixated
feeling worthy of this pain
that has somehow crept into me
through cracks given by this world...

I wait for the catharsis to happen
to make me feel sinful for all this
and, like an ugly duckling storybook
the pages of my life flip-flop again...

Author notes

The world is full of pain and suffering and i want to do something to soothe it and to heal it but somehow, i am not able to bring myself to help the needy even when i want to...maybe my mind overtakes my heart time and again It sometimes makes me feel sinful, making me feel a part of all this pain...the same thoughts have been captured here...

    Yes it can be a repeated cycle, because we are of the flesh, we are weak though He is strong. Truth spoken here, we fall down but we get back up, or at least get off the round and round ride. Well done. Blessings.
