The Casket
Dark circles depict the pangs of insomnia
Implicit words beckon the vibes of the voiceless
None too easy to erase
None too eager to carry
Inappropriate cycles within life
Unrest that has a meaning
Is it just me?
Makeshift ideas to please the now
Unlearned words that cocoon the worst ahead
None too needed for today
None too healthy for any
Blundering decisions that falter within
Unread lines that echo to all
Is it just me?
Chaos reigns but it engages
Numbness flows but it spurs on
None too cherished
None too necessary
Irreversible faults is on the horizon
Unknown is the consequences
Is it just me?
Lines that flow
Words that narrate
None that is heeded
None that is understood
Why is it we question?
When all answers are within
Is it just me?
PS: Hey guys/gals. I need a name for this poem, that i just scribbled a few minutes ago. tentatively i have named it The Casket (Dont ask me how i came up with that...but i know it is not an appropriate one). Please do put in your comments

Answer 1: I think "Not Just Me" is a good title.
Answer 2: Nope... it's not just you....
One's mind CANNOT be expected to have a clear vision all the time... It is too un-human like. There will be confusions, wrong steps taken, bad days and nights, love, hate, peace, violence, etc etc etc... all these are combined to form life and it;s not just you because even you and my parents and their parents and theirs' have had such states of mind more than once...

Museem...
the answer is indeed that "it's not just you" but it doesn't help when one feels alone...
I think I like "the casket" as the title... often I try to enhance a write with the title, I feel
you've done that here without even trying to... the casket puts one in mind of a closed
box made only for the wearer... your question at the end of each stanza puts me in mind
of the same closed in feelings.... am I alone in my quest, yes, I liked this poem very much!

thnx Richard
CASKET was the word that came in my mind the moment i read this poem after writing it down......i felt it was right but had a doubt if it completely reflected the lines i wrote.....I even like Amatya's suggestion for the title but i felt it was too general and common of a term (no hard feelings Amartya)....Thanks both of ya for sharing your thoughts on the poem :)
Peace
