Heart, I set you free

Of freedom and masks

Who am I?

Voices ask of me

What feat, to ever answer

For what I am?

You cannot see

Don't come with shining lanterns

I am a shadow

Ghostly pale

The light goes passing through me

My soul: Unloved,

Unseen, unheard

What's this then, right before thee?

My painted mask

It smiles, it's seen

Beneath, there hides the shadow

I dare not show

The truths of me

In darkest depths they burrow

~-~-~-~-~-!?!

Don't look!

Oh damn, my mask had moved.

No stay!

Please don't run far from me..

I know,

My face won't be approved

It scared

Most people that have seen.

~-~-~-~-~-

Come tell me:

Is there anyone,

who'd honestly stand by me?

I stopped

To hope for miracles

Now wishful heart, I set you free

There's peace

In not expecting much

No burning call for "MORE"

If given

One day, I'd receive

I'd thank thee evermore

About the Creator

竜鶴

Just a lonely person who writes out feelings, thoughts and dreams to get them out. Could talking ever suffice for a poetic mind?

Maybe others find themselves in similar thoughts. To you I reach out.
