Confusion Poem by Meena Iyer

Shifting shadows,
Twirling tight
Like some thoughts coiled inside

A thousand death,
Every moment I die
like a crawling reptile- A parasite

No escape, no respite
I die as i live and live as i die
Incomprehensible plight


Am I right?
Is this wrong?
Just the same it is- Black or white..

There are no colors,
No words.. just meaningless scribbles
Like the bread that mouse nibbles

Empty.. days and night
Empty.. my words
Empty.. my mind

What exactly do I search?
What exactly do I mean
What exactly?

Swirling smoke
Nerve wracking numbness
Awaits, I no longer want to hide

I no longer want to fight
