I am
a deep void of thoughts and goals.
A plain surface with scars and holes.
A peasants master piece,
a masters peasant.
However, still my life is pleasant.
I am.
An old soul,
in a youthful body.
An open mind,
I am a closed, confined in the claustrophobic cage of carnal cravings.
I am
Afraid of being brave.
I am kind,
But I would kill for a hot coffee, for it brings me life.
I am sometimes blind
but I see everything.
I struggle to see the light through darkness, it's a pessimistic trait
But I am a traitorous optimist, eager to be honest.
I lie. In fact, I knit lies like sweaters and wear them with pride.
I good, my heart is pure
but I am bad and at times, my intentions are lured.
I am more than what you see,
My complexity as intricate as the sea.
I am more than what is understood.
Judge a book by its cover
and you shall find you have a lot to discover.
But judge yourself to be black and white,
and your true colours are bound to fight.
