You Are Deceived

Mirrors and outsiders never really know the whole truth, do they?

The person who you see before you

Is

Not

Me

The image, silent or otherwise

Is

A

Lie

I am not here, held captive by this body

And by

Your

Mind

You do not own me. You

Do

Not

See me

Do not presume to know

What you

Do

Not

No one really knows me, most

Certainly

Not

You

My life is mine, my soul is mine

You

Don’t

Matter

You are insignificant!
Haha i love it!!!!

I cant help but wonder, was this poem inspired by that line?

[VassD]

Negative, m'dear. I actually was NOT thinking of that line whilst writing this poem. This poem simply appeared in my cranium one day in Ormond's class.

[Katie L]

but you cant help but notice the similarities?

[VassD]

Now that you point it out, yes. Although there are significant differences.
