I was not born pessimist
I just tried not to be foolish in optimism
away I stayed from nature
turned my back to the earthly feelings
everything that tied me
chained me to the ground was immaterial
relations had no meaning
love and life just four-letter words
I swam across the ocean
swaying away,
further away
each day
And then when I stood
In front of those swinging and blazing doors
some shiny glittering light splashed on me
and when it was time to go
I realised all these years
I have been just a fake

intense and heartfelt...
heavyhearted retrospection and the dreadful end of it...a self confession and the unburdening.
What a realisation. But then, again, if it's your truth, then why not be honest? I see more optimism in revealing that truth, even if it hurts, than in keeping it under wraps. Many thanks for that beautiful poem.

needless to say.. loved this...
The realization dawned too late, nevertheless it did dawn. But then there is no time to regret or correct, because on judgment day no masks can hide you. A very deep thought has been conveyed here, something every one much understand and try not to live a life wearing masks, faking every thing. Really nice lines.
Great work Anorak, one of your best.
Liked it thoroughly, the perfect use of words to depict the disassociation
"I swam across the ocean
swaying away,
further away
each day"
And finally the strong ending.
Really good.
