POETRY
Living expressions of inner work. Offered as a glimpse of the process towards radical self-acceptance, healing, and growth.
a thousand eyes reflected
i am a multitude
that speaks with one voice
broken apart
through lack of choice
the face i wear
closely mirrors yours
how else can i survive
when the world itself abhors?
used to think i was acting
but now i see the truth
another day wasted
on the folly of youth
a thousand eyes reflected
in a broken mirror’s gaze
quick swallow this pill son
this is all just a phase
there’s no-one left to question
the slow passing of time
nothing is permanent
‘cept my ink forming rhyme
i am a multitude
that speaks with one voice
broken apart
through lack of choice
the face i wear
closely mirrors yours
how else can i survive
when the world itself abhors?
used to think i was acting
but now i see the truth
another day wasted
on the folly of youth
a thousand eyes reflected
in a broken mirror’s gaze
quick swallow this pill son
this is all just a phase
there’s no-one left to question
the slow passing of time
nothing is permanent
‘cept my ink forming rhyme
