Anne-Lise Andresen Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

- Eyes In Dark -

I flap my wings and fly away
Tired of crying, tired of trying to smile
It rips me
A different person in dark shadows
Not funny or cool
Goodbye beautiful stories of love
My mask fooled everyone
Does it even matter anymore ~ who I am
