Middle Ground

#ThrowbackThursdayBlog
I know this is untraditional to do in a blog but get over it this is my space on the web and I will do what I please.

"You accept darkness,
But choose to live in the light.
That you loathe us
Who teeter on the edge of nothing?
We who were turned away by both
Light and Dark--
We who were never given a choice.
We fight for what is just
But are neither praised by the Light
Nor are we pursued by the Dark.
Where in this cold world,
Do we fit in?"

The Hiding Place

Today in World Lit. II our professor went off on a tangent about couplets. As I sat there my mind started to wander and my thoughts gradually jumped on the back of my notes:

You see my face,
You see this mask,
So many questions you do ask;
Who are you?
That is the question
Which best suits my expression;
I do not know
Would be the answer,
Avoidance is my game just like some dancer;
I hide my identity
For myself, from others
Who knows me but the closest of brothers;
My God,
He knows with fullest clarity,
The secret to my flawed humanity;
I am content
That so few know my true being;
Blind eyes may continue, unseeing.

Granted my grammar and rhyming aren't the best, but it has served its purpose. My mind is now less crowded.
