A Poem: Unmask

Dark poetry, Original poetry, Passionate poems

I often find myself caught
In the middle of my thoughts
When I sit in the dark
I then take heavy shots
At my cage full of spots

When I stare at burning stars
It feels as if I’m a frozen dot
I’m restless on my ground
The tears then I freely drop
From the eyes of my heart

The waves & the shocks
The flash & the sparks
I rise then I fall
My flesh bleeds when I walk
The pain speaks to me loud

The chains cut my song
The layers I then rip apart
The patterns hit me hard
The disc cracks & it parts
The track trips my path

I scratch scars with my claw
My demons in me freely crawl
I’m hungry but I simply starve
So I scream & then I roar
I’m this wild animal so raw

I’m imperfect full of flaws
My ink leaks as I jot
My poetry isn’t just the art
It’s my life that I prompt
It’s my soul that I unmask

—– Unmask —–

Unmask is a poem about being naked; being real with my thoughts & emotions. I don’t believe in hiding my face (/phase) & it simply doesn’t matter how I look coz I’ve finally come to know who I am. I often find myself caught in these thoughts that why people need to fake it. Is it to please others or is it about living in self-denial? It doesn’t mean, I don’t try to work hard on myself to be the better version & to simply evolve. It’s about being transparent & real about how I really sense & feel from my pov.

  6. Wow what a intense poem… So on point. This line had to be my fav-
    My demons in me freely crawl
    I’m hungry but I simply starve

    A very dark poem and it’s woven in emotions. A perfect and additive combination 👌👌

  8. Wow, Navin. I love how you express your emotions. Your poem gives the powerful feeling of being bloomed from the experience of “sitting in the dark” — the words can only be spoken by one who has embraced the truth that he or she is “imperfect and full of flaws” and has inner demons… Your poem touches me because I feel like it’s not easy to exist in the space of pain without a feeling of shame, yet our shadows are part of our whole selves and ought to be loved as well. ❤ Thank you, Navin, for sharing. 🙂

  10. The power of your feelings jumps from the screen and floods the time and the space. It is raw. It is beautiful in its roughness.

    “My poetry isn’t just the art

    My dearest Navin, you are right. Yet it’s not necessarily righteousness that we seek. It is an unmasked self.
    You are a great poet.
    I am sending love.
    Yours
    G.

      1. You are so welcome. I am lifted and lightened by your words that remind me of my years of great trials. They are a part of me and have made me a stronger and extremely compassionate and intuitive individual. Every thing you said is true. I am so looking forward to reading backward on your site. I do the same thing with inmindandout.home.blog. I don’t know if you have read her, but her work is hauntingly beautiful too. I am excited to read much more of your work. I am deeply connected to nature which was a safe place for me. Thank you Navin I am so glad and grateful to have met you. I saw something you wrote as a comment to Gabriela (I call her beautiful Button) so I am grateful to her too. Have a peaceful weekend. Love ❤️ Joni

      2. I can read from your words that you’ve become a stronger being & you’re quite intuitive, plus you see the light. Thank you for your heartfelt words. I’ve been following your blog since long time but unfortunately, I wasn’t receiving any notifications. The moment you started following me, I could see your new posts. I’m looking forward to check your writings as I’ve this feeling that you’re an amazing writer/storyteller. Why I think so – due to your comments on Gabriel’s blog…yes, our common source. I find her writings magnificent. I follow Rachel’s (inmindandoyt) blog as well as I connect to her writing. I haven’t seen anything new from her. Thank you Joni, I’m grateful as well to finally have connected with you. Much love and have a peaceful & wonderful day ❤️✨

  20. When we try to be what we are not, for others it ourselves, it can often take more energy than we’ve got to give. Living with who we are – the beautiful person that each of us is inside and out – may mean living in that darkness some days. But, it’s not every day, and we can manage and break free by being true to our own soul.

    Thank you for your words. I pray this season is a good one for you, my friend. ♥
