    ILLUSION

    No one knows the burden I carry

    Wearing the badge of survivor courage

    I walk alone; I dare not tarry

    My eyes I hide lest they see my baggage

     

    A bright smile

    Some cheerful laughter

    Ordinarily beguile

    ‘Til sometime after

     

    It’s a treacherous thing

    This mask that lies

    It hides everything

    But what’s in the eyes

     

    No one hears my soul’s silent cry

    Desperately trying not to end up a loser

    They see someone who can almost fly

    Just an illusion created by my abuser

    If this poem is about the picture that I enlarged....then may I say that that jaunty hat slung backwards and your smile is a dead give away......you are a winner however you place that hat.....

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
