Dejection

10 June, 2022

I wrote this when I was completely disappointed in myself. I had just graduated and had nothing to distract myself with, so I fell into introspection

I am amidst stress

The only resort, your tress

The sun rises in my dewy eyes

The evening sets by your clever lies

Why is my heart burning?

All my nights are spent turning

I envy every couple

My loneliness is conspicuous yet subtle

Even though I have yearned for you dearly

Every speck has conspired against it

clearly

I have made efforts but all in vain

I guess I'll leave it to my parents, in disdain

I ask love, why am I deprived of you?

It replies, because your heart is blinded by

you

Broken, I try to progress in life

Alas, procrastination stands strong

with a knife
