Unseen

7/11/15

I sing my dreams to sleep,
fly over the clouds on rainy days
try to touch the sun and become one
with the fire that's inside.
Hide flames beneath my skin
and keep my breath trapped
in smokey lungs,
try to cough without choking
on ash and misconceptions
so perceptions of me
will never burn the edges
of those picture perfect photographs.

Black and white smiles are vignetted
on my walls...
