    Ironic Metaphor

    Beacon of AbsenceI am a lighthouse in the sandNo ships to guide, no sea, no landMy beam reveals what isn't thereMirages lit by vacant airThe Loud WhisperI am the silence that can shoutA whisper loud, a voice withoutI speak...

  • Was born with eyes wide open
    To be prepared for the truth
    Not wanting to offend
