Hollow Man

a glimpse into our own ego

 

I can see vengeance in their eyes

Payback time for my pervious lies

They deliver messages through their disguised smiles

That the only friend I made would be a space of mine

 

I’m forced to find comfort in luxury

For I’ve taken others’ shares savagely

I respond as my arrogance dictates

Through the treacherous act, I will vindicate

I had lost the act of faith

For I want everything in my take

And yes I have everything but they are all fake

For my soul has escaped and it’s all too late

 

Redemption through the kiss?

Rejected for I could not offer any true gift

As I slips into my own grief

More and more people start to leave

Blood pressure climbs at dramatic rate

Against my ignorance mistakes I could not face

 

As I walk through perpetual haze of guilt

I accept palpable pity with my fist

And so I write in search for iota of bliss

For it is the only thing I genuinely own at this minute

Author's Note

i guess we all treat ppl wrongly..regret for not treating them what they really deserved sometimes...and through our arrogance, true friends are lost...and even if we become rich..our lives would be full of shit!..well that message was what i intended..and not sure whether i was successful or not..please leave some comments so i could know..also i like to say that i spent like 30 minutes or so in writing two lines 'I respond as my arrogance dictates.Through the treacherous act, I will vindicate'..it was pretty hard for me to actually comes out with those words..and i'm anxious to know about what other think..i hope here would not be any grammar mistakes..and hope every lines are linked..thanks for reading this..

This poem is a lesson to learn. Anyone who feels guilt from treating people the wrong way can relate to this. And the ones that don't feel any guilt at all but have done wrong things to people then I guess it will bother them for the rest of there life. I bet after writing poem, admiting you have done something and you express your sorry. Then you will feel better afterwards and whatever you did wrong can be forgotten as you can be forgiven.
