Storyteller

By Nehema

 

Visions of dualities


Personification through 


Colorful personalities


Though mine be untrue





Birthed in my imagination

Set free through a keyboard

Satisfying the needy starvation

Sometimes striking a chord



Middle aged and decaying

My mind needs renovating

Ideas and ideals fraying

Past life deteriorating


Comforting and wise

It's the lies I despise

No need for disguise

Truth = the greatest prize
