PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

we can be who we are

just as

we can not be who we are not

yet between the intermission

of the two

there always lurks hope

mere dreams of the wakeful mind

man's limits

are mostly governed by

the perimeters of his

unjustified fears

take away the latter

and the former

shows itself for the myth

that it truly is

cowards long ago

taught us well

the art of constantly second

guessing one's self

and they likely died

never being none the wiser

for such overly wide and too

well of a traveled path taken

listen to a new voice

your own instincts

they don't need a megaphone

to speak to you

for the soul possesses the finest

voice

like that of a well seasoned theater

actor

with careful concentration

you can hear for yourself the

negativity being silenced

and that there still is a lot of

deep breath left in the body that

houses what we call our

'True Selves'....................
