Usually my poetry is rambling . But for me, this is the best poem I've ever written . It's meaningful and gratifying yet not completely vague or confusing . I love the way the words, the feelings, and the story unfolds . This poem WAS about a friend but it's not anymore . DON'T ASK ME WHY . I believe that whomever read this can relate themselves to either of the characters in this poem . The inspiration comes from a very unexpected condition. I was going back to my apartment from campus and suddenly it was so quiet and I was all alone walking towards the apartment. That's when the inspiration kicks in . I know some of u got your own interpretations on this but bcoz this is my favorite poem, I'm gonna intepret it.. so just read if u're curious .

Interpretation:

When life is clawing me
(when life is giving me a hard time.)

These thoughts are too deafening
(The issues that I'm dealing with are too loud and constantly invading my mind until I can't hear anything else except those issues shouting from inside my head.)

Resonating through the tranquility
(Somehow those loud issues are echoing in the calmness that I feel at that particular time.)

Of pure obscurity
(The calmness is actually the numb feeling that I have that has been manifested from the confused thoughts.)

I need a remedy like your voice
(Somehow there's a slow calming voice that u kept hearing in the chaos of confusion.)

Secure me from this appalling disillusionment
(I need a (savior/friend) to save me from this terrible disappointment.)

In time and space which are frozen
(From where I'm standing in life, time seems to be static and agonizing moments pass too slow.)

A cycle of sentiment begins with every breath I take
(As long as my savior/friend is alive, I can feel a set of different feelings run through me every second I think of my friend.)

Transporting me to the other side
(The feelings completely made me forget about my issues/woes.)

It is almost surreal that I would rupture again
(It's weird that thinking of my friend would make me feel like I've been shattered to pieces bcoz my friend is my savior.

I tried to mend the pieces
(Trying to understand & accept why the hatred, confusion, admiration towards my savior/friend are mingling into one.)

Fear, anger, joy, and sadness
(The feelings of the issues that I'm dealing with.)

To no avail
(Unaccomplished.)

Molded in vain
(Failed to understand.)

In life and death which are destined
(All of us have our fates already written in God's will.)

Your clear conscience is my redeemer
(My savior's/friend's positive & supportive attitude towards me saves me from loathing myself.)

After these silent epilogues of distortions
(The silent treatments my savior/friend gave (being cold) after a lot of misunderstandings.)

I am drifting beyond the semblance
(I keep on hoping for this facade or false hope to become a dream come true, that is to have my savior/friend come and save me.)

Somehow nothing is more gratifying
(Even though I know that it's all a facade, I feel like nothing is more fulfilling...)

Than your recognition
(Than how I'm not invisible to the savior/friend who have inspired me.)

The soul finds refuge in you
(I find peacefulness in confiding my savior/friend.)

Enclose method of ignorance
(Being unaware or couldn't care less in an isolated environment.)

Taken over by bliss
(Overcome by the feeling of sudden happiness.)

Just like a flawless melancholy
(Just like being totally depressed at the same time.)

Deep within thoughts
(Deep down my heart.)

And further than the unfamiliar
(Beyond what I think is unreal.)

With your voice at the back of my head
(With the memories of what my savior/friend has told me.)

Audacity fills me and I am unique again
(The memories sort of empowered me & now I have courage again as well as the feeling of being special.)

These sentiments of mine are shifting
(The feelings that I have now are changing.)

To the same place where you are
(The feelings are actually my thoughts about my savior/friend & that my feelings are the same as my friend's.)


that was a lot!
