OPACITY

by yugen_oihcatsip

I want to be as pellucid as waterfalls As limpid as clear glass Transparent as windows between the walls Translucent as a frosted glass A case puzzling consulted to Sherlock Holmes A noticed must-read tome An idiom comprehended A metaphor which meanings unravelled But I'm a wall, thick and opaque Not translucid and clear as a lake So I guess no one will ever see through me My thoughts My being My depression.
