Poem Title: An Adorable Slavery
Written & Composed By: Daniel ThePoet ft Poet Nazir
Year: 2021
D: I detest to see the tears of my eyes
That flows every day
Not that I cannot rise
But it is tough to stay away.
My degree looks strange
With the sweats I couldn’t arrange
Empty I say I am
Because I have lost the voice
I called my alarm.
I look at myself in identical mirrors
Where I detect measures to blank the errors
I am addled and now a burden
To move from nine to ten.
I have wished to say goodbye
To the love I couldn’t buy
And it is doleful to try that
Not because I am fearful to start
But I’m scared to die.
That, after, the respiration of this union will expire.
P: I wish to quit
But there are footprints of my footstep
That draws me aback to drown
Even when tears tickle down
I scour for a reason to smile.
In the midst of cacophony of voices
I see violence tearing me apart
I look and stare but I say love is just an art
In this state, I feel a breeze of pain inside my heart
Watching me go through the scars of grief of what I embrace.
I rubbish that I dwell in toxicity
A frame of mind that unlocks new adventures
A vicinity I could not boldly admit of peace
An empty society where my heart is tattered into a piece
But also, a serenity I vowed to fees.
I seek freedom from the sweetened slavery
For I have suck taste from its marrow
I have tasted the bitterness of its wrath
And I have witnessed the hell within its paradise
Yet still my heart dwells in its bosom, forever.
