...Echos of Introspection

By SolApathy

 
Poets reside here in a dark prism
Light reflecting an echo of emotions of our prisons
Self-cynicism and doubt
Colors the darkness we dare not flout
For those who know how to see into what we say
Our emotions willingly betray
The light for which we silently pray
 our stalwart illusion tucked away
In the comfort of others, betrayed
Only for a moment we reflect a stunning display
Sun touching the crevices of the hope we hold dear
Fearful of what others may find
The beauty of the darkness
In that moment, I smile
I bear my soul for you to see
There is more than emptiness in
…Me
