Irrationality

[fierce mortar]

irrationality,
the uncertainty of knowing,
the confidence in not.
irrationality,
the sky will fall,
we might all die.
irrationality,
this will all go bad,
unfinished endings with no completion.

irrationality,
the mind’s self sabotage,
the mind’s coping mechanism.
irrationality,
you don’t care,
it’s all in my head.
irrationality,
i mistook the signs,
you don’t want to know me.
irrationality,
maybe this could work,
maybe you love me too.
irrationality,
this will get better,
he will look at me again.

the world calls us fools,
our society calls us stupid.
to cling to the impossible,
to assume the worst-
expected, yet shamed.
but are we so idiotic,
or are we simply irrational?

This is a wonderful poem 🙂 I especially loved the second stanza and the usage of adjectives

Your writing style still remains fascinating and wonderful

Great job, Ikari!!

this poem powerfully captures the chaos and the inner turmoil that so many of us face. the way you describe the relentless cycle of irrational thoughts, it’s like you’re pulling the words right out of my own head. the repetition of "irrationality" perfectly mirrors how these thoughts keep looping, never giving us a break. its raw and honest, showing the vulnerability and the constant battle inside. the lines "irrationality, this will get better, he will look at me again" hit especially hard, highlighting the hope we cling to despite the odds. this piece beautifully captures the struggle of living with those nagging doubts and fears. loved it :))

oh ikari how do you want me to give you a feedback, as a poem it has lot to do, but as a poem it is complete in theme, image and your own way of writing your poem
