There is a fuel for every cage
we’re locked from assault
thyself
to become invisible –
the badge: guess,
where am I ?
The trigger to stereo-type
the desire
to fit
sixth sense sends no mercy,
the shadow zone
lit.
The list goes on and on
with reasons to hide
from light.
Can YOU stand
with grace and ease
original tall and bright?

that is the question - to some, the purpose of life. To live so that you are not ashamed in the light. It keeps one very busy indeed

Hiding is often the best solace to the harshness of the world.. but what happens with you then?...
ReplyDeletehave to trust yourself and take care when that sixth sense tells you to
ReplyDeletestereo-types and the desire to fit can make us invisible in a certain way... good if we're not afraid to stand out from the mass at times..
ReplyDeletewhat a n interesting last question...with all the reason to hide from the light....isnt that where grace is found...throw in stereotypes and placing people in boxes...ugh
ReplyDeleteWe are always have that desire to fit and be invisible ~ Enjoyed this ~
ReplyDeleteThe sixth sense can be powerful and one needs to listen. The ending leaves a thought provoking question..I liked this..
ReplyDeleteIt is all about balance, isn't it? Well done and especially the question you pose at the end.

invisibility is quite an effective yet dangerous place to hide. I really like this poem.

stereotypes really piss me off... most are negative, yet, when you defy them, people act like it's a problem...why we rather keep each other in a box - idk...
ReplyDeleteLoved the dominos sticking together as pairs! No sign of a mis-match there! I don't want to be in that club.
ReplyDeleteGreat question that last stanza poses.
