is not feeling connected
the same as feeling disconnected
wishing for things that are no longer
or simply wishing for nothing
is distance measurable
or does it bend and twist
creating incremental spaces
that start to define us
is my view from within
anything near the perspective from
without
or does this prism bend light
differently from both sides
can you see me, can I see you
we may think the answer yes
but the reality is, the outside
only sees what we allow
we make decisions to be transparent
or to shield ourselves to varying
degrees
shades, veils, masks, call them by
name
we all wear costumes of one sort or
another
we all have faces that we hide
and faces we show the world
we can paint them, adorn them in
jewels
or we can strip them naked and bare
is anyone ever comfortable enough
to stand naked in the spotlight
has anyone ever truly felt
that they have nothing left to hide
I feel like my biggest secret is that
I don’t have any secrets anymore
wishes fallen by the wayside
dreams dripping down the drain
can you convince yourself to want
should you have to try to need
when the broken pieces no longer add
up to a whole
does it still equal a life
can you push through, can you walk it
off
can you take off the masks and the
cape
can you strip yourself completely
bare
can you believe yourself into being
again
