My Brave Face

Contributed by winged on Wednesday, 5th May 2004 @ 03:54:14 PM in AEST
Topic: DarkPoetry



Stop, think, proceed,
Steady hand, don't sneeze
Paint over the cracks,
Fix the smile.
Better insane
Then falling apart
Cover up the tears
Scars disappear
Under layers of fear
Don't dig deep.
Will shut down,
Shut you out.
Keep back
Don't catch the disease I keep.
An artist's hand paints the mask
Ready to slip
Shatter like glass
that pierces the skin
don't look too hard
My eyes will open
You will see
That this is just
An attempt
My hope
Of putting on
A Brave Face

Being an artist, I really identify with this poem on 2 levels. Excellent.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
