Constellation

130

R-oaming inside my head are the unknown

A-nxious train of thoughts that never fail to make me frown

I-n the middle of nowhere, there I wander and wonder

N-o single mortal to hold on in this vast wilderness

B-urnt soul, dehydrated, in this lonely abyss, all is a mess

O-h, this scorching pain of being alive

W-ith all those peering eyes, there's nowhere to hide

P-ain and despair is what I've made of

E-nding this sorrow by writing a line on my wrist became an option

R-ampaging in my mind are my insecurities and imperfections

S-ecretly wiping my tears in the middle of a laughing throng

P-lastering a smile, fooling even the keen eyes

E-nduring it all is my game

C-asting them far away from my tiny mind became my everyday routine

T-hen little by little, out of nowhere, colors from within started to resurface

I began to glow with vibrant colors even in the darkest place

V-ery much to my surprise, I survived, again and again I did like a lion

E-verything came to my senses, humans glow after being peeled off by pain...like a rainbow appearing after a rain

Note:
This is an acrostic poem, a challenge from a cabin (Cabin of Writers, one of AAS Cabins) I wanted to join but I left during the last stage because of some reasons. I was so shocked when I learned the word and I don't know how to make a piece out of it but still manage to but I don't know if the piece made any sense, lol. This was a long time ago, I stumbled upon it while checking my memo app and decided to post it here.

Hi to all solidiers! ILYSBB.
