Seven sides of me

Love...

Caught in my head
Or lost in my heart
One body collided
Two worlds apart

Dreams...

A vision so magical
Or a distant memory
A fragment to inspire
With a touch of reality

Hope....

That keeps me going
Even when times are rough
A tragedy on fire
But it isn't quite enough

Fears...

They look me in my eyes
And pierce my weakened soul
God please hear my cries
Before I lose all control

Vanity...

A childish inquisition
Leading one to boast
Yet even pride will diminish
The one who lusts the most

Anger...

Buried so deep within
Padded with bitter resent
I can feel it just under my skin
Waiting for me to repent

Me...

A multifaceted being
With a variety of faces to choose
Someone so unique
Let me be your muse

Prison in my head

Contours and crevices
Make brilliant illusions of depth
In the two dimensional world
The prison inside my head
The bruises and scars have healed
The pain has somehow regressed
Yet the shadows of the bars
Are still prevalent in my precept
A rebel in my own domain
A martyr with intellect
Challenged by the shame
Of a past that I regret
Every fairytale and fantasy
Has an ending that's inept
Yet it magically invites me
To a world of hidden prospect
It allows me to be the woman I see
Whom I've always tried to protect
Allowing myself to finally be free
In a story only I can perfect!
