The deviating Spiral of my Divine spirit
Jeffrey Powell 1979 (Pittsburgh, PA)
I am a majestic, maladjusted maladroit
with the recalcitrant, reprobate mind of a rebel.
I happen to be an ethically nihilistic nirvana seeker
who never found a niche.
Solitary and not terribly social,
I solicitously search for solace.
I have a noxious nostalgia for nonsensical notions.
My maniacal manner is mainly due
to my meandering, mendacious mentality;
a mere mediating medication for
my apparent, apathetic apparatus.
Oblivious to the obvious,
my obtuseness is obtrusive.
I wrestle with unpredictable myriads
of unprincipled periods.
My perceived purposeless passions are
purely imprudent pursuits.
And I struggle with a sinister surge
usually presenting as a pestilent purge
of deprecative musings of my choosing.
This chronic condition of
constant convolution confines me
from conceding to conformity and
despite my self-deception and deleterious dejection
I will go on with indefinite defiance;
indecisive in determining a definitive destinction.
I shall remain my own mystery;
a mystifying mystique,
an unorthodox paradox,
an ingenius enigma,
fundamentally fumbling,
occupied by oscillation,
my consciousness a conundrum.
I am ever evolving
esoteric essence which
eventually will evanesce.
About this poem
As an introvert and person who has trouble talking about or sharing things about myself with others this poem came about quite naturally as the pen and paper, I find, are easier to talk to sometimes. Though some of this is a bit exaggerated it is still a self-reflection of how l see myself.
