Sometimes we are not existing anywhere; we are nowhere in the past, future or now. We are lighter than the cotton ball and we are simultaneously at our forward and reverse. This ambiguity, I believe, is the beauty of nothingness.


Inexplicable me

Watch me cry
See me mumbling

That's how you got me stumbling..

I saw a nightmare
I had a dream

That's what made me scream..

Watch me making it
See me ruining it

That's how I've been tuning it..

I ran for life
I crippled through longing

That's what I know of the feeling of belonging..

Watch me going crazy
see me giving up

That's how I've been living up..

I paused till death
I made a lifetime wait

That's what doesn't need a debate..

I take in red
I reflect a haze

That's the way my life is a maize..

I had it done
I got it finished

That's how I left it undistinguished..

You watch me burring it
I catch you watching me

That is the beauty of being "ME"..

I look for skies
I die for that land

That's a monopoly which is banned..

Watch me going on
See me on s reverse

That's why I say memories are a curse..

I've been "there"
I've done "that"

What is this all about? you please state..!!

Though you may be inexplicable, you've made a valiant, precise, and well-crafted effort to map out your complexity for us. I especially like the form you've used for the poem.

This is an extraordinary piece of insight. The contradictions that are so human, so cleverly written. It lives up to its name:
"Inexplicable me." Who can truly understand why we do, not do, feel, not feel, cry and feel joy. It's about inexplicable life.
:-) Enjoyed reading this.
