A Walk Between Worlds

http://www.writerscafe.org/lamourovo - Ash. For more of her work

No one knows I'm dancing between two worlds.

In one, whispers creep to become screams

Casual glances become stares

I want to crawl out my body

And leave it all bare.

But In this world.

I'm said to have it "easy" 

Screams of agony 

leading to no end

they reassure me

that i'm fine

But to what end?

my worlds collide

where most cannot see

I'm tiptoeing on fault lines 

Yet as they stare at me

they only the see wreckage

something bent from attempt

but broken from failure

i lost the screw that held my worlds together

But how do i stop this world from bleeding into my reality?

Reviews

[R.E. Ray]

This poem captures well what we all know. We have a public persona and a private persona, often 180 degrees apart. We project courage but fear every shadow. Our minds bless and burden us, reality and perception, often inverted, spinning, driving us insane as we walk, less than sure-footed, between two worlds. Enjoyable, thought-provoking piece.
