Steem Cameroon Poetry Contest Season-12: Desperation
Desperation to me is a stage of hopelessness in which a person can attain without having many options of surpassing that stage and some may even lead to death.
Actually so far in my life, I haven't really faced any situation that made me desperate. But I have learned from the people around me.
DESPERATION
Have you ever imagined how different the world might be if you were not present in it? Have you ever attained a point of hopelessness, a point of despondency till an extent where you feel like letting go? Have you ever witnessed success only to find out that you have brought about more torment and pain than you have ecstasy? I have.
In the quest of wealth and power, I lost my own
Truly wealth is sweet and power even sweeter but felicity, and delight became unattainable
For the main purpose was forgotten. The idea to make mom and dad glad.
As greed, anger and hatred consumed me badly that I shun my face away
I became a trapped soul in a world where no one cared
Dear Baba and Mama
If you’re reading this it means I’m already gone
I failed you all as a daughter and did you wrong
I am grateful for all you did for me even though I was more of a curse than a blessing to you, still you harboured and took good care of me
My death might hopefully bring you some relief and I beg of thee not to mourn me
I have not much to say but that I am sorry and I’ll be watching over you from another realm
Dear Friends
I am sorry is the only thing I can say for I wasn’t there for you all
I let anger consume me after all
Please do not mourn my death and never walk the path I walked
Wealth and power without you all became useless
Life became lonely at the top
Dear God
I have wronged thee in every way possible I pray my friends do not go through this way of life
I pray you forgive me for such an atrocity and take me home
Life to me now is like soup without salt so tasteless and empty
Dear All
My last words are goodbye as I transform from mortal to spirit
Deep i must say. Hopelessness is so bad you can't even wish your worst enemy.
Good luck
