Nothingness

 

It's like

I'm in space

Directionless

Hitting here, hitting there

In a mad, mad, rush

To reach somewhere

Only,

I know not where...

No ties

To pull me up

No ties

To pull me down

Only

This

Mad, mad, rush

To reach

Somewhere...

 

An Untrue Mirror

 

Only

I

Know

What I am

Deep

In

My heart

Deep

In

My mind

Deep

In

My soul

But,

I

Let not

The world see.

To

The

World

I

Reflect

A

Different me

And,

The world,

Believes!
