State of denial <br />Where everything vile <br />Still looks so perfect <br />Still looks sterile <br /> <br />Patterns in life <br />Repeat and always cheat <br />No lessons learnt <br />I got to retreat <br /> <br />There is just no hope <br />No friends and no plans <br />My life has changed much <br />Alone stranded on an island <br /> <br />Why do I reach out <br />Despite all this I have seen <br />A small spark of expectation <br />Wants to believe in unseen<br /><br />Nalini Jyotsana Chaturvedi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/desperate-denial/
