I Am Not Lying - 1

Nafis Light

There are no many projections
like society’s perception on me
and it is not all words that can easily be ignored
because it goes on levels that I couldn’t easily see.

 

I bet it is the same for everyone
but who is shedding off those perceptions?
Who is still living in ‘Deception’?
Well, it is a ‘deception’ to me...an illusion
because living not as oneself
but as what others want for ‘the self’
even though it is good,
It isn’t exactly...true.

    its that balancing thread - of fate
    how much of our choice
    is happenstance, disguised as wilful ignorance
    and how much of our mirror, do we fill
    with stylistically hot, empty air?
    when we sign our name, do we lilt
    each letter the same, purposely
    or do we react - erratically, when a squiggle
    is out of place, from that order
    we yearn - needlessly, devotedly
    knowing, who - we are
    asking
    If, we ever - were: morbidly...
    (thanks for inspiring my little scribbled reply
    I'm always drawn to the unwavering honesty
    of your poetic ink)
    thanks for sharing
