Bane Of My Existence

Bane Of My Existence

Bane of my existence

Creator of my misery

Tonight I have run out of patience

And you saw the real me

I am quite certain

They will make me out to be the bad one

That this all happened in a fit of rage

But nothing ever happens in a fit of rage

It happens when you reach the end of your rope

After begging and pleading for you to do better

The time finally came

For you to learn

That actions have consequences

May that be something you learn early on

In your next life


About “Bane Of My Existence”:

I generally save poetry for Wednesday but decided to post the poem on Tuesday this week. I did not have the strength or remaining brain cells to come up with a post today. So, I settled to publish some poetry instead. Unfortunately, I am having an incredibly awful day. From the minute I woke up till now (it’s almost 1am here) everything that could go wrong has. I’m not saying that for sympathy, just merely trying to describe my day. Some days are just like that. You wake up on the wrong side of bed. Hopefully, I’ll wake on the right side tomorrow. I guess I should say something about the poem now… But I think I’ll let you interpret it as you see fit instead.

What did you think of the poem, “Bane Of My Existence”? Let me know in the comments section below because I would absolutely love to hear from you. Or simply stop by and say hi!

  1. I hope you feel better soon, Pooja! The word Bane always brings to mind the ridiculous, endless flow of the same TV ads hour after hour, day after day. Advertising has ruined TV, radio, the internet and any other tiny crack that it can infiltrate. Imagine never being bothered again by any adverts!

    1. Thank you! I wholeheartedly agree, ads are everywhere. You can’t get away from them. I would love to never be bothered by them again!

      1. 🤙🏻🤙🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

        1. ❤️😊

  2. I’m sorry your day has been one of those bad days, sending love and prayers that things start to look up for you again as soon as possible. In the meantime, this was a beautiful poem and the fact that you posted anything at all on a day like today is inspiring and I hope you’re proud of yourself for that. Tomorrow will be a better day, you got this! 😊 Love, anxiety

    1. Thanks so much, really appreciate that! Today was much better and I’m hoping the rest of the week goes well too. Hugs! 🤗

      1. I’m so glad to hear it <3 🤗

  3. Sounds like a pattern I have been able to get pushed into, too much, for too many years. Best thing I have done is to breathe. Breathe deeply. Take a moment to breathe. Be mindful. We know the patterns. They get off on us reacting. Deep breath… and no one deserves to get inside my head without paying a cover charge…except of course for a few others on WordPress who have read my words and encouraged

    1. You’re right, we shouldn’t let people live rent free in our minds.

  4. We escape out of bane through our imagination and recapturing the best times ofour lives.

  23. Your poem sounds descriptive of your day and someone might have to pay… maybe you pushed that someone off the end of your rope.
    Hope you have a better day! Hey, at least you got some good poetry out of it. 😂

    1. Thank you. Absolutely, bad days are natural and the good thing is they are rarely permanent.

  28. Many many blessing to you dear Pooja. Feel better soon
    May your new day be gorgeous. Xo

    1. Thank you so much, really appreciate your kind wishes 😊

  29. Hope you feel better soon my fellow Jedi

    1. Thank you, today was much better.

  30. Magical words! It can be a very long and tiresome day when all of the dominoes fall, one after the other, after the other. Cheers to waking up on the “right” side of the bed!

    1. Thank you so much! Yup, some days just seem like that but luckily the bad ones never last too long!

  31. Had one of these days myself last week. Ugh, I’m sorry you had one!! Hopefully you can find some time to decompress from it and have better days ahead. Also, your poem is so moving. ❤️

    1. Oh no, sorry to hear that! I had a better day today and I feel okay now. Thank you ❤️

  32. I can totally relate, Pooja. Today my troubles started when I spilled a large cup of coffee and the day went downhill from there. Great poem and there’s always tomorrow. Keep smiling.

    1. Oh no, sorry you’re having one of those days too. Hopefully, today will be better for you. Thanks so much.

      1. You are welcome, Pooja. So far today is running smoothly.

        1. Glad to hear that. Hope your week ends well.

  33. I enjoy the poem. It is smart, raw, and revealing. The insight about rage and where it really comes from is wise and right, I believe. I do know how some bad days happen, some going that way from start to finish. I hope this next day has been better for you.

    1. Thank you so much. Yes, yesterday was much better than the day before and hopefully today will be too.

      1. Yay for good days.

        1. Yay indeed.

  34. Love the poem. Hope you have much better week.

    1. Thank you so much, yesterday was good so hopefully that’s a good sign.

  35. “May that be something you learn early on
    In your next life”
    usually you end your poems with clarity…. this one reads a little mystery 😉
    Keep well, dear Pooja 🤍🤗

    1. Haha, thank you 🤗

  36. Awesome, pooja👍👍👌👌🥰👏

    1. Thank you 😊🥰

  37. Well I truly enjoyed the poem. I am a firm believer that nothing happens In a vacuum. There are many things that brought us to a certain course of action. But I would take responsibility for my actions either way. 😜
    Lovely poetry. Pooja G.
    As for the crap day you had… I pray the good days outnumber the bad. You’re a strong woman.. and you take the rough with the smooth and still come out smiling🤗

    1. Thanks so much and yeah I believe that too. Thankfully, the rest of the week has gone quite well and hope you’re having a good day too 🤗

      1. Yes..writing poetry. So I’m in a God space.

        1. That’s great, happy to hear that.

  38. Your poem is relatable, Pooja, with emotions that are good to be written down. I hope your days are better and better. ❤️

    1. Thanks so much and yes they have been getting progressively better ❤️

  39. In the verses of “Bane of My Existence,” the poet navigates the tumultuous seas of frustration, creating a canvas where emotions collide like a storm. It’s an authentic portrayal of those days when everything seems awry. Yet, woven into the narrative is a subtle thread of hope, suggesting that tomorrow might unfold with a brighter dawn.

    1. Thanks so much, I think you summed it up perfectly.

      1. I’ve been savoring the richness of your blog for a good while now and now I found myself lost in the charm of your older WordPress posts. It’s fascinating to explore the journey you’ve shared before I hopped on board. Your writings continue to be a great source of enjoyment and inspiration!

        1. Wow, thanks so much for saying that! I’m so glad you’re enjoying my older posts too. Really appreciate you reading them.

  40. I don’t think who we are when we’re at the end of our ropes and have “run out of patience” is necessarily the real us. At least I hope not. 😅

    1. Lol, let’s just hope you’re right 😅
