Beneath the surface rests a soul
So unblemished, so sublime …
Beneath the surface rests a heart
So tender, so crystalline …
Beneath the surface rests a child
So innocent, so fine …
Beneath the surface rests a vision
So unjaded, so mine …
Yet the world sees the mortals at the surface
The exterior,
Never deep, never within
Sits in judgement
So harsh , so grim
And yet the fallible race strives and clobbers
The macrocosm
With all its might …
Those who bow
Get lost in the abyss …
Those who triumph
Sparkle in the sands of time …
I stand strong
As i glimmer, i rise and shine … !

Amazing words. Weird isn’t it, while we are surrounded by morals that urge us to be ourselves we tend to adapt ourselves according to our peers.
And what’s worse is that this habit is the easiest to revert back to

You know I think of these thoughts often and the sneak into my writing in various ways of how not only are we viewed judged by an exterior that people use to place into boxes for filing without knowing the underneath. They judge everything by some already preconceived expectation.
It’s difficult to keep fighting back. It’s difficult to keep being nice when you are taken as being something else. It’s difficult.
I like the poem itself as well with the structure and pace/rhythm of it. The story telling. Also the use of seldom used words in everyday language was nice and grabbed the attention and was actually nice to ‘hear’. Cobbler, crystalline and macrocosm.
I know this was ultimately about you but in a way I felt it was about me as well. Certain lines almost seemed perfect for me.
Much Respect

As a writer I admire a poets ability to sculpt words into a clever flow of images that pierce our hearts and make us feel. Your writing in this piece is beautiful though your lines about the innocence of a child set tears rolling. I will be back to read more and will follow your blog with delight and anticipation
