As I sit in front of the red curtain
I ponder what enigmas behold behind it.
Could it be a creation made by my imagination
or a curtain that screams eerie illusions.

The first time i opened this red curtain
I spoke to a dwarf with no name
and told me that the end was near
and that some tangent universe was conquering mankind.

The second time I opened this red curtain
I talked to my disfigured reflection, my identity
and urged me to change my ways
that some day my life would backfire.

The third time I opened this red curtain
I urged myself to stop seeing these things
I felt confused and raged
I wanted it to go away.

Suddenly, I stared at the red curtain
and oddly opened by itself.
What caught my surprise
was that nothing appeared but pitch blackness.

As my eyes faded to this red curtain
everything seemed out of focus
I couldn't realize what was it behind the curtain
And suddenly I inferred the scenery.

A bright smile came into my face.

Its weird how sometimes no matter how many times you look at things they appear differently but its good to know that the last thing you saw cause a big smile upon ur face

Well done...liked it a lot!!

Sometimes I get so weird
I even freak myself out
I laugh myself to sleep
It's my lullaby

Sheer beauty. Definitely my favorite.... Or among my Top 2.

This might sound funny but I read it the second time with Jeff Buckley's "Last Goodbye" in the background.... An elevating experience.... TRY IT!!! Anyways thanks for coming up with this!! It's Getting Better!!!!!
