Hindsight

Daniel

It is with our eyes we look
But with our heart we truly see
And with clear sight I look upon
The truth of what has been

To some I was demon
and others a king
To some a defender
A Knight among men

But I was Just a fraud
A joker and fiend
A silver tongued devil
Who carried his lies as a shield

 

And so I created a fantasy

For other to see

A thinly painted projection

Of what I wanted to be

 


But I knew little of the truth
And It's beauty within
So I was imprisoned by my fantasy
This  monument to my sins

But the past lays our lies bare
The truth a beacon in the dark
And so I look back
To see the truth in my heart

    Thanks for sharing DANIEL and the truth enshrined in your well penned poem ! This is my experience too of life and love ! My eyes only see the superficial but my heart sees the truth in my own heart and the hearts of others. Yours BRIAN
