A Life Of Mystery
Some say I'm straight Ice candy stick frozen
no flaws.
Some say I'm ruthless as a snake deep in the forest.
How sweet to think they know me; life a garden
Infested roaches and mites.
How beautiful a garden ought to be , life is cruel itself
As I cover myself beneath them. No one deserves to know
Such a beautiful soul
Sunday a day that could bring light
and just as the sunset sets darkness tends to fill
and I will still be out of sight.
I'm a mystery ...
Like a ghost they speak my name with false tales ,
tales I had not known existed.
Like a ghost I wonder through the night it is not fear
but a wall of protection.
Just as flowers has its days of a time being near
it recovers a mystery we ought to be.
Shortly day turns into night as a humble bee enticed
noteless I lie in bed with a smile .
About this poem
In this poem I speak of myself and a bit of a mystery that I live. For years I carry pain within my heart so this poem speaks my emotions in a way and how I hide myself from everyone else.
