Quiet Rumination

Look hard

beneath the surface

see the truth

the reality

skull

wide eye orbs

gallows swinging

I am here

I stand before…..

No one.

Myself.

You.

Society.

All look

not a one will see

insisting I am fine

the cracks

the flaws

papered over with crimson fears.

Lost

broken

no longer afraid

sit

content

watching the waves

debris of my life

washed upon the shore

awaiting close review

introspection

long hard look

a new truth

my own…..

I suspect

these radical thoughts

feelings

they are nothing new

only now my eyes are open

I can see clear.
