Treasure Hunt.

Poem - ATC

Ten years of clues

uncovering The Truth

What lies between the lines

Behind the mind

Led astray by words

Turned sideways by emotion

so much commotion it's easier

to just switch off.

But I found the X.

After all this time and

I didn't even want a shovel,

I knew where it was 

It was obvious all along

I simply refused to let it be

In my face so big and red like that.

I leave the chest alone

Scared of the beaten gold.

I wish it wasn't just me

who could read maps.

I hear the mattered bones rattling for battle.

But I turn my back and walk away in search for treasure.

I believe the true treasure here can not be measured.
Some of these are priceless. Nice.

Aha!! A seeker I see! I liked how the stanzas change in form and content. It matches the way the speakers thoughts are at the beginning then how they end. :)
