IllusionsA Poem by StormeLight
We look at someone
We think they have it all Inside, enslaved, drowning Harder and harder they fall Pain and suffering Too scared to speak up Alarmed by the sadness Creeping, creeping up Oppression has so many names Some lie in poverty Others in fame Control can wear a smile As plastered as a clown A circus for show Laughing as performers drown Who are we? We wonder at night Only alone as we sleep When free to cry and scream inside As demons lose their power We use our voice Because the damage has been done It may as well be worth a price A price no longer in vain No longer hidden in plain sight A price of freedom One in which we more than just barely Survive the night © 2021 StormeLight |
