One Nauseating Cliche

Overused Apathy

By Amelia DavisPublished 7 years ago 1 min read

'Easier said then done.'

Well no shit.

.

Our emotions come with

No manual,

No button or switch

For a quick repair.

Feelings so powerful sadly

Never simply vanish.

If only it were that easy.

.

The agony we experience;

Relationships seeming as if

Everlasting, transformed into

Some form of nightmare.

Families growing towards their

Happily ever after, struck with

Unexpected, wicked transformations.

.

Such extreme alterations

Manipulating the mind

Impels depletion,

As if no progression,

No closure

Is truly possible.

We are left face to face

With pure anguish.

.

No matter the volume

Of support, of compassion

Sustained by a soulmate,

Attempting to reel us back

Into a calm state

May throw our minds

Deeper into the dark abyss.

.

Wanting that mythical switch,

Dreading each second our thoughts

Remain detained by anxiety.

We want it to stop. But of course

It's 'easier said than done.'

.

Some traumatic experiences

Stick permanently,

Effecting one's soul

For a lifetime.
