It could not be any clearer
how I must now deceive the mirror
assume another tragic role
even if it must then take its toll
For I have crawled many miles
painted on so many smiles
just to get where I am
using words I dare enjamb
Wanting to only just reveal
a hint at all that I do feel
all that I do still now know
within a perfect poetic flow
Ignoring all of those voices
offering such trivial choices
tried to convince me to stay
on a different path, a different way
While I take this empty stage
prepare to turn another page
even though this ink is not dry
ever certain of how I must try
