Self-absorbed Sun

Folder: 
Poems
My fire burns like the sun,
Brightest in solitude.
 
Crowded by the others, 
I become but a candle 
A lump of tallow proffered, 
In a procession of idols,
To my horror, but contortions.
Rearrangements of an inner self
 
Their voices nauseate,
These sickly puppets,
Resounding in my skull,
and I hear clear,
The hollow of my words.
