4 Days After 9:


I stay down and you come up.
This bouncing ball sherade.
Living life as life is lived.
Our simple masquerade.

We're your all that you deny,
The truth of fantasy.
Killing off your shadow hell
While enhancing our dreams.

I walk off as you run in.
Both trip with time.
Ending up with a bruised knee
At four days after nine.




I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

"Living life as life is lived.
Our simple masquerade."

I really like the way this whole poem is written, you've done very well with it Dopey.

nice post dopey...i gotta say it takes me a while to read into the words, but very nicely put....
i loved these two lines:"
Living life as life is lived.
Our simple masquerade."
there is so much meaning in just those lines!
