Turn awayA Poem by JackieI cannot pretend as we descend. I cannot pretend when darkness appends.
I see the beauty
In the world Though I cannot deny Or Turn a blind eye To the scrutiny It beholds I cannot turn away I cannot turn away I cannot pretend As we descend I cannot pretend When darkness appends I cannot look away I can not I will not turn away It cannot be unseen I Cannot avoid the obscene It seems with all the beauty We are all covered In shadow We continue descending Into these gallows Into these gallows We keep sinking Tainting everything meant to be uplifting I feel it all, see it all sifting I watch as the world Keeps drifting And I can't look away I can't turn away As it all just fades each day Oct 23rd, 2016 © 2016 JackieAuthor's Note
