A ode to self reflection

Meticulously watching your eyes to admire what you see,

Insisting I tell you lies with no civility.

Rather than judge your shame, I'll bare the blame,

Remorsefully begrudging any ability to call your name.

Openly I hold secrets you hide from yourself;

Resting where you placed me upon the shelf.

About the Creator

Glytch

Flying through the clouds

Dangling among the trees;

Living a thought freed.

Working as a professional figment of my own vividly wild imagination with hopes to live rent free.

Hobbyist writer/painter

    Is it an object that is holding your secrets? I just read it for the third time, and I believe that is what you are saying.

    Spoiler Alert: prefectionist poets love spelling things in stanza form just to challenge boredom ;) Happy Single Awareness day
