Hushed

A Poem by Chase Weik

A repeating stanza poem for creative writing class.

Travesty. Travesty.

Couldn’t convey,

Mask your impurity in rose colored tint

What kind of life is this?

Keep the thoughts shrouded

Tell not a soul

The healing’s worth quitting

If they’re unaware

Collected facade

Festering core

Plagued by the need

Of a damning circumstance.

How to persist?

A catch-22 --

Chained to the past

Constrained by perception

Travesty. Travesty.

Couldn’t convey,

Mask your impurity in rose colored tint

What kind of life is this?

Oh, what kind of life?
