The Sentimental Me
If you don’t think something affects you,
Just give it a little time.
At some point you’ll get a glimpse of your new self
From the side.
You’ve become so sentimental,
Just like everyone else.
And it’s hell
When you’re simply adding more layers to your shell.
You think you keep moving ahead,
But in reality you’re falling behind.
Think the light is getting nearer,
But you’re again becoming blind.
Even your writing gets worse
And up surges the remorse
For your sentimentality;
You’re just emotions and brutality.

The syllabic flow counterpoints the raw pathos of the very relatable human condition throughout your write. Very engaging.
