haunted boredom, I feel invisible in this wasteland
jilted feelings don't matter
sick in the moment I wither
then come back stronger
maybe it was meant to be this way
freaky obsession to be seen
then other times I try to blend with the wall
shrinking myself so small
it takes a lot from me
swindle the emotion
trade happiness for pain
tell yourself it's okay
you like it that way
sacred trust, look down on yourself
honesty cast off for lies
so you can fit where you don't
hurtful pride, bends and I lose myself
distraught personality... splinters
altering myself, just one of the masses
who all seem to accept this delusion
that we are all meant to fit this illusion
seemingly happy if you are I applaud you
while I sulk in the shadows
cursing the deception

hello dearest Damian thank you for feeling me on this ❤️
“swindle the emotion

tell yourself it’s okay

My favourite verse. We do lie to ourselves, more often than not, don’t we?
hello lovely Kay thank you graciously yes, we do lie to ourselves ❤️
Chère C.,
What a very special combination of words and very beautiful imagery you have made.
Each time I think you have surpassed all that you published before, you surpass the surpassing. Or whatever word is needed for your story telling.
It even brings work by Anselm Kiefer to the table.
If you’re American: thank you so much.
In all other cases: keep on keeping on!!!
Warm regards, Gus
hello dearrest Gus thank you most graciously you make me blush and yes, I am American…I’m going to have to look up Mr. Kiefer… really you made my day ❤️
Some secrets shine brighter when no one notices them.
Phenomenally different
Dual minded…outside looking in… inside peering out
The truest sentiments of what is poetry
on full display
Much respect
Naaj
