Express Myself- a collection of short poems

The Isolated Apparition

Tiptoeing across the hallway,

delights me to a certain extent,

because when someone comes across my horrid face,

I have my way with them

Oh they look so frightened,

they look so childish and dumb,

as they think of me of nothing else but an exterminated fiend.

The servants and owners alike try their hand at bravado,

But each time they come across me, 

their pride reaches a new low,

There are skidmarks from the many times,

that anyone has witnessed my crimes,

But what can they do but endure it,

while I zigzag through the hallways,

making sure no one can follow me through the maze.

Tales are told of me in their great dining hall,

and to show them of my nature,

they taunt me and tease me until

I act as the horrible creature.

The guests have their eyes saucer wide

astonished that this is not just a story

but the owner's reality.

In a small corner of my mind,

tired and exhausted

in a part which I do not want anyone to find,

I wonder why are they so scared of me,

Is it because I walk like no other,

my feet though in front of one another,

walking on thin air,

is that what makes them scare so easily

Is it the way I eat,

the way my food passes through the system,

lo and behold for everyone to see

or is it my eyes,

the fact that I have none

but still, I get to see,

These humans who are unlike what I am,

can do anything they want,

since they have one another,

but I have no one,

not a spouse nor a sister or a brother,

they have long since gone to the other side,

while there is no one to guide me

I really don't want to admit it,

but maybe I'm just a bit lonely
