Choices #writephoto

Posted on June 7, 2019 by Sue Vincent

Eyes
Hiding
Strange faces
Ever watchful
Look out from shadows
Distrusting all they see
Fearing the caress of dawn
That awakens them from slumber
Far safer to embrace illusion
Than to be revealed by the light of truth
Remaining but pale shadows of themselves
Blind to any beauty they might bear
They wear the scars of choices made
As armour and uniform
Safe in conformity
Shaping misconceptions
Building prison bars
Without release
Feeling small
Within
Fear

    The contrast between monochrome and colour really enhances your poem Sue.
