It is human nature to fabricate illusions to shield us from our reality.
'The Faceless Truths' exposes thoughts and feelings we would rather keep buried, tearing away the veils we use to distort our perception of reality.
The poems and short storie...
"You think I do not see You think I do not notice But I gleam from your distasteful eyes The disgust you hold toward me.
The judgement you cast is like a heavy cloud Deepening in shade. It burdens me that there is no sun So much so, I wish for rain.
I am mindful of your contempt When I act as I please And give no caution or consideration For your own needs.
I am keenly aware of your perceptions - Offensive as they are - That you are my head, And you are my arms. That you are my legs, And the bandaid that keeps me From falling apart.
I am aware that you think I am helpless without you, And that I desperately must Clutch your hand. But I am not a hapless fawn, I am sure of who I am.
I recognise your sense of obligation to do for me what you can But I resent it's existence. I long for a burning desire To do what you can BECAUSE you love me.
But most of all I am hurt (That, I will not deny) Of how you genuinely see me And of how oblivious you are To all of you That I truely see."
