Helplessness

[Jabberwocky]

Helplessness

I sit at the aleph of all choices watching others paths spread out before me.
Seeing the destruction that man has wrought on what he considers lesser beings
as a way to hide the pain and torment locked deep inside.
Some twisted catharsis

It is hard not to feel the overwhelming sensation of helplessness as I evaluate my options.
Which path will I chose when all are spread out before me.
Each beckoning me to aid in the proliferation of their ideals.
In which manner will I step forth and chain myself to the structured breakdown of institution.

The pain wells within me
breaking through barriers that society has forced me to erect in order to survive
The knowledge that my singular voice can be drown in the torrent of other voices
Screaming their chaotic discordant sounds
Each for different reasons than my own.

great read. i really like the directness and vivid explanation of your thoughts. its a bit vague while remaining sensicle. it also made me think to boot. well played

as someone who tends to struggle with feelings of helplessness all too often, i think you captured the essence of helplessness rather well in your poem.

I can relate to this well. Especially the drowning.
