Prompt # 327
LIMINAL SPACE
With bated breatha
waiting at the liminal space
between
certainty and uncertainty
will the people come out of their slumber
their old stinking beliefs
from their greed for freebies
from their vested interest
from all the gimmics
played by political parties
and
come together at least once
and
opt to vote for
what is good
for their people, and
their nation
Commuters
or
Wandereror
Strangers
All lost in their own thoughts
Unconcenred
Obvilious to their surroundings
As if
Chasing their larger- than- themselves shadowown shadows
Untill some mishap shakes them
Than they all come alive
Helping each other
Without any discrimination
Humanity takes over
But
Why wait only for some mishap
All the resouces
are useless
if
you lack
resourcefulness
Mask
You put
To impress others
Others
Judge you
By your deeds
Deeds
If good
Need no mask
Salesman
With sugar-coated talk, they try to win you
Your well-being is their motto, so they fool you
They come wearing a mask
Keep smiling is their task
While their sole aim is to sell their product
They don't care if the product is harmful is a fact
When the tempest hits
Youth believes in a head-on approach
With age comes experience
That keyword is patience
When the forces of nature are at play
Innovative
Unusual art forms
Unconventional mediums
You can't praise enough
Creativity at its
best,
Innovative minds win
Moon steals the thunder
Sun smiles patronizingly
Dazzling gilt edged moon

I’ve picked up two lines from a cryptic poem to serve as a springboard this week. The full poem can be found here.
whilst searching for my sanity,
I’ve become my own worst enemy.Cruel Compassion, Collaboration with the Silent One by Ink Empress
I'm tired from intangible tears in the mirror,
slowly sinking me in swirls of sorrow,
like a bruised creature
INK IMPRESS
——————————————————————————————————————–
SANITY
slowly sinking in swirls of sorrow,
like a bruised creature
I hunger for rays of sunlight
to paint my skin
In a plethora of pastels
to hide my bruises
let the world see
my brighter side only
till I find the way
to open the closed door
where I have kept captive myself
in the pretext of my safety, my security,
to keep me away
from evil eyes
It is suffocating though
Whilst searching for my sanity
Have I become my own worst enemy, or
my closest friend?
———————————–
Sanity
They crowned me
praised me
applauded me
worshiped me
when I was insane
they had a hold over me
they could use me for their vested interests
My search for my sanity became
my own worst enemy
they imprisoned me
claiming it’s for my safety and security
it’s to protect me from
the world’s evils
as my sanity
scares them
