There lies profound beauty in this uncertainty,

Untamed decisions often take the mind by storm.

For within me, resides a constant state of perplexity.

Walking without purpose, bare feet in this robust city,

Suddenly reminds of a naked, vulnerable form.

There lies profound beauty in this uncertainty.

This stage fright wants to take over my sociality,

Making me anxious every time I am asked to perform.

For within me, resides a constant state of perplexity.

Old memories resurface, giving rise to my anxiety.

Inexplicable rush of adrenaline makes the heart warm.

There lies profound beauty in this uncertainty.

A sign of light appears as if it was fed up of my complexity,

Yet there arises an insurmountable pressure to conform.

For within me, resides a constant state of perplexity.

Maybe it’s time to succumb to a wavering reality,

Along with a deep desire to defy the norm.

There lies profound beauty in this uncertainty.

For within me, resides a constant state of perplexity.

P.S.- This is a Villanelle, following the rhyme scheme of ABA for their tercets, and ABAA for the quatrain.
