Plastic

Tired ramblings.

The day yawns its boredom

at times, as the creases

on noon's face, ever-

increasing, intensify.

I have hidden, layers and layers,

my skin peeling away, sallow,

as the moon taunts me

in this dance of life.

I laugh it off, often,

the sound still strange

to my unaccustomed ears,

but I must, I am told.

I do not seek pleasure,

except for what I have

become; I am born plastic

and a mixture of rock.

Watch me fade. ..

Good to shred the fakeness of life.
"I have hidden, layers and layers,
my skin peeling away, sallow,
as the moon taunts me
in this dance of life."
Sometime we must allow the moon to show us how to dance and enjoy life. A amazing poem shared dear friend.

I agree. Thank you so much for appreciating this one, John :)

A telling self-examination... reflecting the numbness of purpose that sometimes overwhelms us. 'Plastic' is a telling image.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

You nicely summed up that feeling, Jibey. Thanks so much for your appreciation :)

oh wow yumna. i love the line "i have hidden, layers and layers, my skin peeling away, sallow"
reminds me of something a mix of Edgar Allan Poe and Stephen King would do on a collab poem.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

That's an interesting compliment. I thought you'd like this piece more than my other recent ones ;)
Thank you so much for appreciating, Sarah :D
