Undignified Disguise

11.16.14

Strange beauty to be seen
on the outside of me,
when true emotion hides
behind some unfeeling,
unforgiving plastic.

The mirror lies, the sweet disguise
veiled within reflections;
drown my sorrows in red wine
sliding down my throat -
poisoned honey that traps
the pain inside.

Music sings its melodies as
obedient bodies sway,
guarded souls that will never truly dance
but simply move to the
notes with practiced flexibility.

Watching from behind the mask
only proves we were wearing
one all along.

Now this is a great poem! :) But is this personal emotions? It's when we think no one relates to us is often where we are wrong. Inside, you are an amazing person and you just have to illuminate the dark with your wonderful shine. We were born to feel compassion, love, equanimity, and sympathetic joy. I hope that someday you might see my example, and I hope that one day you will refer to me as a friend.

Great poem one of great personal trial Awesome job! :)
