Throw the Dice
by Hexmage
It's true, Admit it, Accept it, Live it An outcast, alone in a world of lonesome Contemplating fears and shadows Letting pseudo-confidence fade An emotional cripple, alone except for shadows Retreating into the world of chance Running numbers and rolling dice Faking self into belief, but it's all a lie Lies ruled by fears and shadows A world lived in by all, accepted by none Shadows controlling their puppets Mariette strings of fate and chance Hidden inside lies, covered by friendship But alone in the world, unable to befriend The strings are clear Scissors drawn Nick Snip Slice Now everyone is alone, no purpose, no sense The dice dictate life, shadows roll them How can you ignore the whispers End it, Finish it, Be done Cast a hand, suffer the fates Already alone, dice are thrown ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I continue to be amazed how deeply revealing and touching these poems continue to be. I am wowed by the words that my visitors share of themselves. I hope that the author and readers find them as powerful and therapeutic as I do. Thanks to you, Hexmage, for sharing! Dana |
