Domestic Discord: A Sonnet of Turmoil and Frustration
Amidst the throngs of souls who joyously return
To their domestic sanctum, I alone remain
In fear and trepidation, for my home doth burn
With turmoil, chaos, and unending strain.
My progenitors' constant altercations breed
A pandemonium that doth my mind assail,
And though I strive with all my strength to plead
For calm, my efforts prove but to no avail.
In vain I strive to allay my troubled mind,
For home, once source of solace, now doth bring
Nought but frustration, and a sense of bind
That doth my every thought and feeling wring.
Thus do I long for peace, yet find it not,
Trapped in a state of vexation, all for naught.
About this poem
The sonnet above depicts a melancholic and introspective musing on the concept of home and the emotional turmoil that arises from a tumultuous domestic situation. The speaker expresses their feelings of fear and trepidation towards returning to their home, which is described as "burning" with turmoil, chaos, and unending strain due to constant altercations with their progenitors. Despite the speaker's efforts to plead for calm, their attempts prove futile and they find themselves trapped in a state of vexation, longing for peace yet unable to attain it. The use of complex and elevated language, such as "domestic sanctum," "pandemonium," and "altercations," adds to the melancholic tone and emphasizes the gravity of the speaker's emotional state. more »
