Transparent ExistenceA Poem by EnigmaFor the group 'Creative Poetry'.The idea of a transparent existence Haunts me Knowing and fearing The deception that lurks Beneath the shadows of the surrounding faces With opaque lives and darkened minds Their sinister smiles Indicating the gloom that lies ahead Or maybe it is sympathy, misinterpreted That I will share their fate Rotten repugnant thoughts Infecting the mind Like maggots infect a corpse Transparent No robes of pretensions and lies Like clear markings on the wall About the past The present And the future My mind, once an abode Of the dreams and imagination Of every colour imagined and seen Not yet bruised by a reality check Which brought with itself The ghastly nightmares of future And filled my present with ominous threats Perhaps my life was too easy to decipher Living every predictable second Living a life with strings in some else’s hands Would you not rather be isolated and safe Than be social and insecure? Would you not dare to make your own mistakes Than repeat the old ones? Would you not dare to close your mind Fearing a theft of your secrets? The idea of a transparent existence Haunts me still For I know not what is to come But the way they smirk and glare at me Maybe they do © 2011 EnigmaAuthor's Note
