The Depth Of Elusive Truth In Lies Of life and Love In Depression In Methaphor.
Searching
Deep
Into the depths
Of my heart
Looking for Treasure
Wondering if I see it's splendor
Will it issue an agenda
Of pleasure
Afraid Of Disaster
Because what if look
Only to find torture
Looking to grow mature
Because I'm insecure
Unsure
On what I'm living for
Looking for a clue
For a score
Even when my world has few opportunities
to take shots
But I Dig, I reach, I Search
I Dig
Hoping In My Efforts
I'll finally find love in lots
Thinking about the Love
In the pain I Got
Love I was feeling oh so illusively when I was young
Then always Shot Down
I Got A Lesson Taught
To Control Motive Of Thought
In a locomotive of rot
I'm trying to make treasure out of trash
Because now I'm buried under a rubble (of depression)
In the darkness I feel In Trouble
Because my imagination is running wild
Like I'm In Peril
Stuck In The Surreal
Fear Is What I Feel
Because I Keep going under
Into the depths
Even when my fear controls my breath
I still find reason in the hoping
That what I Find
Can appease my reasons for coping
In the everlasting shambles
that are my life
A battle between love and strife
Trying to find what love means
Even when it seems it leads me to pain
In the reaching I try to gain
A way to sustain
Trying to reach beyond what strife is
To beat the challenges of living
Even with a lack of opportunity given
I'm receiving
Ideas of the world sieving
My Gifts, My strengths, My weaknesses
For Thieving
As If My Passion it aims to be killing
But my souls heart is not willing
Because there's will in it's spirit
As sights of courage and distaters once lived so vivid
You can't help but stay livid
I compute this
Wishing for trueness
Knowing only lies
That conclude to my demise
Like the wrong code
Was typed on the computer
And now there's a virus
Pushing my mentality in decline
So my thoughts are at a minus
Of my esteems courage
Fearing that I'm damaged
Trying to manage my mismanaged baggage
Hanging over my shoulders
the weight
I can't properly equate
For my fate
Because in my digging/ reaching/ Searching
And trying to find,
The feelings of my heart and mind are not aligned
Because my heart is placing it's please for peace
Yet my mind is overrun by the worlds pressures
Telling me I must find reasons for why I Exist
Like In A Mist
I Can't see but I know, there's good and bad
Treachery and Treasury
The good may Lightly try to appease my roughened, wild emotions
For my Passion to be in promotion
For a taste of action in satisfaction beyond the ration
Of the faction of rationality
Fighting for nationality
Because just maybe in that native nation
One can piece together sanity
As I'm still digging/reaching/searching
Deep
Looking for something that can be important in me
Something pleasant absent of pain
Maybe then I can learn to sustain
In the pouring of rain
Dampened by the bad
Of the unconditional love I never had
But only if you talk to me about a writing pad
But yeah
Damaged Mismanaged Baggage
Within or beyond average
With no leverage
I'm at a failure in coverage
With nothing to encourage
The senses in my minds scrimmage
Until it's like a pilgrimage
Trying to find and kindle a defining image
But Again I'm at a failure in coverage
Because I don't understand this stage
Who I am fixed by my age
Trying to find reasons for being strange
Who I am propelled by strangers
I anger until languor
Feeling like my True Self
Is collecting dust in darkness
Like in a closet on a hanger
Afraid it one day may
Fall out as a skeleton
As I'm
Contemplating between death and life
And Which one will be my savior
Because external adverse forces and factors manipulate my behaviors
Until I'm no more clever of luck
Like a plucked out four leaf clover
Negetivity weighs on my shoulders
Depression hitting like boulders
As I dig/reach/searching even deeper while under the rubble
Wishing to find a shuttle
That can fly my mind away
From the world's troubles
Feeling like I can't breath
Because the deeper I go and get
My congested chest is losing air in seconds
The hope of finding pleasing charm is in my essence
Of my peace of minds evidence
For my efforts
Digging/reaching/searching deeper
I start to feel drowsy
And my digging begins to be lousy
I wonder why its so deep
No Peace
It's keeping me from sleep
My passion I can't keep
Because my efforts reality must keep
As a granduer statement of being welcome to live
I start to fall in weakness
I cant even see clearly enough
As my sights are not broadened enough
To even see what I'm looking for
I fear there's no cure
Feeling Empty ready to collapse
Feeling Empty of reason on why I can't relax
Taken by the wrong and blind facts
My heart clasps and clamps
It's so crass
How Injustice is Finessed
Some are living cross
Because they don't know what free living means
Even as and when they hold a cross
Turned in the twist of the toss
My intellect falls at a loss
Told by the world to run under a boss
If you can't be your own
Fighting on what we want to own
Until we don't know, by forgetting, we're not alone stressing for peace in a home
But a path to true love
You were never shown
But
All on your own
You were shown and grown
To manipulate the forces around you to move on your direct
With just your tone
With it's degree of power
As we're losing energy
In the seconds of an hour
It's getting late to cower
Like a fall from the tallest tower
As I Jumped Or Am Pushed
I can't control my weight while falling in the downing of depression
In the trifle, stifle of life of strife
I guess I'm tired
My energies low
What I'm digging/reaching/searching for I don't know anymore
Because the heart I'm digging/reaching/searching in is sore
It's passion for breath lying on the floor
Because what is it for
If the path to glory
And treasure is just another elusive closed door
That the chase for
Makes you distasteful of living
Of your reason for existing
Unsure
So I lay in the depths
Feeling lifeless
Afraid in who I am
There's torture of nothingness
So I'll have no beauty to confess
For bliss
My Bliss
I never had the chance to keep
Claimed in the false shame
Of my grand yet grave stance of my ignorance
And Impotence
Without that elegance
In my essence
Of any excellence.
For my peace of mind's evidence
Of All My Trying Efforts.

Your comment was posted, but it wasn’t long enough to count as a review. Reviews need about four complete sentences (at least 250 characters). Try writing another review that explains your thoughts in more detail — the author will appreciate it, and you’ll earn points for it.
I feel like a broken record, but I do like to visit the other reviewers portfolio to look at their works—even if poetry usually goes straight over my head! :3
Also very relatable. And the next lines abt the True Self ending like a skeleton. A skeleton you hid away. In a closet. Ahh the metaphors! That is really really clever! Ashamed of being your true self of even having that true self…So let’s see what I can interpret here!
Hmm I wonder why “life” isn’t capitalized in the title.
Especially in the beginning, I really like the rhythm you have going. I also dig (hehe) the word choices!
Oh what do you mean with “sieving” here? “Ideas of the world sieving” Makes me think of ideas that manage to make it through a filter of sorts, maybe a filter placed by the word itself?
…I am hesitant to point out grammar since that usually is deliberate in poems but I was really wondering here: “distaters” my brain wanted to make “disasters” out of this.
I personally don’t really like this repetition: “manage my mismanaged”
Works a lot better here: “Damaged Mismanaged” That even has a nice rhythm to it!
I really like these lines:
Shouldn’t it be either “As I Jump or Am Pushed” or “As I Jumped or Was Pushed”? Here: “As I Jumped Or Am Pushed“
Either way, that too is a section that stuck out to me. As in, was I the culprit or can I blame that on others?
wow!! this was a long poem, i loved it!
let's dive right in...
𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕘𝕤 𝕚 𝕝𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕕:
gosh. one of the main things that really impacted me was the uniqueness of this piece. you have a lot of imagery and analogies and comparisons in there, and your writing style is really distinct!
you also had a very elaborate vocabulary, and your choice of words were really engrossing! i could tell how much work you poured into this, and it really shone through.
your descriptions are so vivid and they go deeper than surface level, which is always awesome to see!
𝕝𝕚𝕟𝕖𝕤 𝕥𝕠 𝕣𝕖𝕞𝕖𝕞𝕓𝕖𝕣:
okay this whole thing was great, but certain lines definitely stuck out to me!
ahhhhh the repitition ✨ the depth ✨ the immaculate rhyme scheme!! ✨
i definitely cherished that line.
WORD. this was such a truth bomb, loved it!
𝕡𝕝𝕒𝕔𝕖𝕤 𝕥𝕠 𝕘𝕣𝕠𝕨:
alrighty, some small tweaks/suggestions just from my point of view!
your title is just a tad long:
it's very descriptive, but it's a bit lengthy! you have three "in"s in a row, so it can feel kind of like a mouthful. if you're really attached to your current title, i'd simply cut the: "in metaphor", since the readers are already able to assume/deduce that you are describing it metaphorically.
or you could just keep it simple! "Truth, Lies, Love, Depression" would work! or something (probably better xD) that you come up with! you don't need to summarize your entire poem in your title, let your poem do the work of explaining
one more thing! throughout the poem, you seem to use sporadic capitalization (i may be wrong! if it was intentional, please let me know) it can make it a little confusing if you capitalize certain words and not other with no clear meaning. if you have the time, i'd just try going through it and making it consistent!
anyway, i hope you know how great of a piece this was!
keep it up and keep writing, my friend <3
