Beautiful Scars Poet Rhyme

The Deep Inside Me

Contemplating on my brevity, 
I find sincerity in my integrity-
I’m a visionary with a muse so deep 
             I write with intensity. 

Reflections and introspections 
bring alleviation and deliberation-
        My sedative is to be meditative,
as I get lost in thought and 
concentration. 

Introversion and deep illusion
bring me no concrete conclusion-
When I objectify and rectify 
              all I see is this delusion. 

                            Inside I hide, 
                            and outside I confide-
                            But when caught in 
                            between realities, 
                            I truly coincide.

Self-examination on my creation, 
       brings thoughts of intimidation-
But the bigger picture’s explanation, 
               gives light to this strange fascination.


                           I think I may try to live
                           another day of grace,
                           but you can tell I’m weak 
                           from the lines upon my face.
                           I wonder if my depth is
                           deep enough to survive, 
                           but I’m shallow and hallow, 
                           for I cannot stay alive.

Kai Michael Neumann May 19, 2017 at 3:27 AM Congratulations for the poem and for the struggle. And since you are not deep and hallow, may you be blessed with a long and introspective life. Kai
