Truth Within – A Poem Written When I Was 15

In the starlight,

We see the world.

Loud and obnoxious,

Quiet and concerned.

The people are like

Shadows on the wall.

Their images change

As the day goes by.

In each new problem,

They change masks,

Alter themselves

So they belong.

They become something

They are not.

They change so much,

They cannot remember

Who they are,

Or who they were.

They are hidden

From the truth within.
