Persona


 

Where have you gone?

Once such a force

Now not even a gust.

Are you really so flat?

Do you not think of me in any regard?

Does my image muster anything

Inside of you?

How have you come to be the grand master

Of nothingness?

Is the person I saw truly an act,

Or am I just that sightless?

Naivety seems to grow with age

Not diminish.

How I was mislead on that matter

Is another breach of character.

Follies and vices seem to only multiply.

For they are the only ones who prosper.

Looking back I wonder

Where I’ve gone.

Written as a loss of one's self, or someone who's hurt and changed you as a result? I'm betting on option number 1. You have a beautiful way with words. An easy 10.

Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.

Plato (BC 427-BC 347) Greek philosopher.
