My One True SelfA Poem by Umair ImtiazA poem about the different aspects of ones personality, faults and traitsMy one true
self Loneliness, my one true friend Visits
me each night, until the bitter end Teaches
me how to silence the noise and hide away So
I can find my purpose and not go astray
Doubt, my one true foe Silently
whispers and persuades me to forget all that I know Finds
faults in all things that I want to attain Feeds
of my sorrow, until there is no joy to drain
Failure, my one true fear Consumes
my thoughts until I adhere Crushes
my passions through dread and fright Fills
me with regret, until I lose sight
Serenity, my one true love Guides
me through the darkness, so I can rise above Cradles
me to sleep, so I can escape in my slumber And
dream of peace, love, beauty and wonder
Purpose, my one true King Keeps
me questioning and searching for what meaning life brings Commands
me to uncover the hidden secrets to being truly free Leads
me to the long and hard path towards finding the true me © 2015 Umair Imtiaz |
