I’ve always been a lover of words. Whether through prose, essays, or storytelling, I’ve explored various forms of expression. However, it wasn’t until recently that I ventured into the world of poetry. It was a journey of self-discovery and artistic exploration, one that has brought me immense joy and inspiration.
Swirling Frustration
Picture from chat GPT.
Photo description: The image depicts a dramatic and surreal scene of a vast swirling sky and tumultuous sea. The sky is filled with thick, swirling clouds in shades of dark blue, grey, and white, resembling a turbulent storm. The sea below mirrors the chaos of the sky with large, powerful waves that seem to be in constant motion. In the center of the image, there is a small silhouette of a person standing alone, facing the overwhelming scene. The person appears insignificant compared to the grandeur of the natural elements surrounding them.
In shadowed hues, frustration lies,
A tempest under brooding skies.
With every turn, it twists and grows,
A river wild that ebbs and flows.
Its waters churn, relentless, deep,
Where whispered woes and sorrows seep.
In every heart, it finds a place,
A maze of walls, a frantic race.
It claws the soul, a beast unseen,
In silent screams, in dreams unclean.
A battle fought within the mind,
For peace, a prize, so hard to find.
Yet in this storm, a light appears,
A beacon bright that calms the fears.
For in each trial, strength is born,
In every tear, a hope is sworn.
So let frustration be the fire,
That burns to ash, yet lifts you higher.
And in its wake, may you find grace,
In life’s relentless, restless race.
