True Colors


 





Buried deep
Beneath lies
Hidden behind
Mystic illusions
Creating a falseness
For all to see
Shadows veil
What lies within
In the darkness
Truth is locked away
Out of sight
But not,
Out of mind
Constantly battling
Concealing all that is
Living daily
Wearing a mask
Braking hearts
Manipulating friends
Playing the world
For your enjoyment
May one day
The strings you dangle
Be severed
Leaving the puppet master
With no puppets to play
May the curtain
Be lifted
And truth be known
Bringing forth light
Taking away the mask
Exposing the lies
Showing all your
True Colors

    Deep inside your dark
    hidden is your heart
    though many play parts
    your heart still imparts.

    Though in reverse slides
    all that you hide
    only truth you imply
    saves us from lies.

    Nice write.

    good

    This is a neat picture and it makes a good background for this poem. I like how you end the poem with the analogy of the puppet master being left with no strings.

    Yes, that is exactly right!
    When the table turns and light shines, the truth will be known. In that alone I keep my faith.........always!
