Living in a world amidst so many people
Yet crestfallen like I had fallen off a cliff
Stranded in a lonely lane
Burdened with so much pain
Hoping I don’t go insane
Feeling as though I were a leech
Going down to the beach
Diving into the ocean and swimming out
Until my arms are both burned out
That I sink below the waves
Into blessed oblivion
Captured by my thoughts
Enthralled by imagination
With little or no ambition
That I’ve forgotten what’s like in my generation
While falling deep into the ocean
Barricaded myself and built walls
So high that I feel corralled by my own self
Listening to my inner voice
Making me go even deeper
With the excuse that I would feel less bitter
Can I ever leave my comfort zone
Without feeling like a casted stone
Can I ever crawl out of this shell
That has been like hell
Can I ever climb out of this fence and widen my horizon
Even as the sun rises
Can I ever break these walls and get back to reality
Or This is My Reality?

What then can I say, if their is any word bigger than wonderful I would go for that. The last paragraph though

Ifedayo says
Apt. Beautiful!
Could the last line be written as ‘is this my reality’ or was that intentionally poetic like that?
Prettylifestylez says
Yes it could and yes it was intentionally poetic like that #winks
