An inward journey and a search for meaning in life have been poignantly expressed in this verse, by Anumita, exclusively for Different Truths.
The constant exodus of images, when they bar me from thinking Barging forcefully into incoherent stage, fuming up to form a fumbled hue Oh! how I want to be empty, void of all those cloudy emotions The drive to feel is so excruciating, take it all, each and everything that comes Take away the crushing and grinding pain, wash the fury so raw and unknown Smooth away the ugly wrinkles of worry, wipe my slate entirely clean No memories, no thoughts, not a speck of guilt am all spent fight the dragons of will Shadows of doubt, misunderstanding and disbelief, shatter them to bits with shards of light Let me be numb in unconscious bliss, without a flicker of any emotions Lifeless, impasse, immovable and sedate, let life trickle by without a voice
