She lost herself

Posted on by Ishita Gupta

all she heard
was a cacophony
of meaningless thoughts
and emotionless words.
all she felt
was a brutal agony
laced with acrid tears
isolated with haunting fears.
all she saw
were ghosts of her insanity
in broken mirrors
and lakes of terror.

slowly,
she lost herself
along the way.
slowly,
she lost herself
in those rainy days.
slowly,
she lost herself
in an alcoholic haze.

I am a girl who has chosen to explore and experience her life through words. Born and brought up in India, I am an avid reader, feminist, potterhead and a Biology student. I am also trained in a form of Indian classical dance, Kathak, and am currently learning contemporary dance style. Writing and poetry, for me, are a medium to channel my hidden emotions and also to create a change in the society. Please feel free to drop your feedback!
