Hidden

Throw a filmy gauze over my face

Eat a hole in the remnant of space

I pretend when others are near

Talk so loud you cannot hear

I do it on purpose, for the thrill of the chase

Setting a manner, you will not see me

Making up truths to set me free

Fascinating, reverbrating through the air

Closing your eyes you can see what's not there

Breaking the locks without a key

A false shadow behind the door

A false mirror on the floor

A false image in the air

Bereft of feeling, devoid of care

Always hungry, needing more

Seeing life where there is none

Facing myself when the day and deeds are done

A light in the distance, ever nearing

A hole in the wall, beyond a clearing

I wish to turn towards the sun
