Poem: Reality

Another day, another night
Another moment of being alone
Another dull ache from words
... I'm losing

It's I who am blind
I believed what I wanted
I don't see as I should
... I was wrong

A beautiful soul in an ugly form
The heart is seen but over shadowed
It shouldn't matter
... But it does

Nothing to be done
No way to correct nature's mistakes
A thorn by any other name
... I loathe reality

I'm vanishing before my eyes
And the view is improved
Even I understand the point
... I am ridicule

This lament of self pity ends
So does my visibility
Shut down because I've been drained
... Now maybe I'll be seen
