Admist The...

By Sharon Mohan

Amidst the chaos;

In the dark entity of the unknown,

Her heart quivers; 

In a strange pit of the dreaded gloom, 

Her mind is shaken; 

And consumed in; 

the grisly realm of the endless pit,

Amidst the cheers;

And the shouts of glee and laughter, 

Her soul gets numb; 

As sprinkles of harrowing trauma grip her spirit, 

And her brain trembles;

As it is forced to recollect those,

which are worse than nightmares; 

Which smash her inner self all over again,

And send her whole being;

into a dreaded state of emotional paralysis,

Amidst those moments of supposed merriment;

Her mind detaches itself from the present,

As her heart gets pathetically frozen;

And her brain sinks in despair, 

As her shoulders grow weary;

With the unfair burden,

As her ankles twitch;

And her gut wrenches,

With the dreaded familiarity of that; 

Which sends shivers of trauma down her spine, 

Amidst those moments spent alone;

Her mind questions,

the inclemency of her life;

That which is soaked in pathos, 

That which has been drenched in things rather horrid; 

That which has made her immersed, 

In a state of unfortunate accustomization; 

Of surviving instead of living,
