Inside out is not the way to live
You pose the big
questions
Receive few
answers.
Those who commit
Make it stick
While those who
need (daresay deserve) it most
Slip into the
trough
Of insecurity
Tumbling,
languishing
Brilliant yet
flawed.
Masks have their
place
No need to strip
everything back
Facing fears is
a T-shirt slogan
Salvation does
not always wait
Under agony
stripped layers
Merely exposes
more flesh
And pulsing
vulnerability.
Leave me now
And dripping
A squirming,
spiralling cocoon
As long as there
is opportunity
To create
More Mistakes.
Comments, thoughts, always welcomed. (Unless by trolls. You guys need counselling)
More Poetry.
No one would survive without their masks. To me, life is about the strugle to find answers to the big questions. Facing fears has a lot to do with giving in to peer group pressure. I would prefer the peerers to fuck off so I can live my life my way, partly examined and very flawed.
ReplyDeleteWell said. I concur. To think of the things teenagers do to satisfy the 'peer'.
ReplyDeleteThere's so much here to chew on. Very well done, Anthony.
ReplyDeleteI try not to pose big questions. There aren't answers.
PS LOL, damn trolls do need counselling. I'm so fed-up with them.
Love you.
