"Insects of Reality", my opinion about the poet Payal Agrwal's poetic genius

Some people consider her a budding poet, but I believe that Payal Agrwal is by all means a full-blown poet. Even though she calls her verses "morbid", but just because her poetry reveals the morbidity of life, I cannot consider her lyrics as such. I am proud to be allowed to post few lines from her lyrical repertoire. I am sure that after reading the following lines, the readers will have the same opinion about Payal's lyrical genius as I expressed above.

INSECTS OF REALITY
by
PAYAL AGRWAL;

Insects of reality crawl on my skin

I run to the deepest corner of my mind

And hide behind the chest full of bad memories

And like in a nightmare it lays open

In the blink of an eye

Spilling the past like the pandora's box

Sanity explodes

Generating a huge dust cloud

Creating a chain reaction in its wake

That spirals out of control

Until nothing remains but

An unbearable sense of being alive
