In My Own World Poem by LINET SABASTIAN
In My Own World
I am busy in my own world
Busy building walls around myself
Walls to keep my heart safe from pain
Walls to keep the tenderness inside
It feels lonely but it is better that way for now.
I am busy locking doors to my heart
Busy ignoring all the knocks
He is busy knocking
He keeps knocking with no sign of giving up
And I keep locking and locking
It is unfair but it is better that way for now.
I am not sure if I should let my feelings out
He is just another man
Am not sure if I should let him in
Am not sure if he is different
Am not sure if he is better
Am not sure if his words are real or empty
Keep knocking, it is better that way for now.
How do I trust him?
I do not want a repeat of the past
In the past I have cried myself to sleep at night
I do not want to wet my pillow again
I do not want to waste my days and nights
I am playing it safe, and it is better this way for now.
See the walls I have built around myself
Understand that i am locked in my own world for now
I have my reasons to be scared
I have my reasons to lock you out for now
But keep knocking you might find an open door some day
Or you might find the keys some day
If you do, be the best that you can
And if your patience runs out it is still okay.
I am in my own world, and it is better this way for now.
You might find the keys some days. Keep on knocking boy, I have reason for not answering. If your patience runs out it is still okay. That's just your misfortune!
This is really beautiful. The true feelings of fear make us become indifferent and sometimes rude too but what to do we have so much baggages to make us suffer. Into my favourite
The nature of heart is some how you are not able to make a wall around it, as you mention in last stanza, there is hope to be faced with open doors and find the keys. congratulations for Poem of the Day.
Very beautiful and honest portrayal of the angst of a heart that is afraid of the unknown. Life is never a bed of roses. It has its thorns. we need to be prepared to take pain and joy with equanimity. Linet, a frank expression of emotions well packed into this poem. Wishing you a joyful life ahead.
Through pain and suffering, we learn life's greatest lessons. And the greatest is that love shall conquer fear. Tragically, some men have instilled such great fear in women that they are afraid to love again. Is it worth the gamble? Of course, it is! Excellent write, Linet! Congratulations on Poem Of The Day!
