The Pit

An Acrostic Poem about Gossip.

(Read down the first letters.)

Little by little,

Our minds can slip.

Wandering far from home.

Ever so easy to catch a wayward word.

Rumour,

Idle gossip

Nasty quips that leave a razor's sting.

Gently elbow reason aside.

 

Maybe I deserved the spite

Yes, it must be true

Stupid of me to complain.

Ever so subtle, the descent begins

Lower and lower

Falling, towards the pit.

 

Despair is its name,

One of many as you know

Welcoming anyone without a care

Nightmares, they at least dissolve

 

I wake, and they say farewell.

Not so easy that dark cloud to shake

To forget the whispers

Over and over they taunt.

 

Twisting thoughts into voices

Helplessness

Emptiness

 

Panic replaces logic

I feel the solitude of the well

Tangible beneath my feet.

About the Creator

Kevi B

I write, therefore I drink coffee.

It's called people watching not, "he's looking at me all weird."

I think catharsis' ism should be a religious practice... and an actual word.

I meditate a lot, others call it overthinking.
