A lie...

The yellow of the leaves, strewn on the streets,

Bespeak of the dour glowering gloom,

The ripple in the puddle when my foot heaves across,

Elicit my nerves to a frightening bloom.

Smell of the wind, fresh off the barn

The spirit of battercakes baked beyond,

As full a promise it might seem,

Takes a toll on the kernel within.

Departing from a lie, did I dream so forth,

Envisaging a life of ecstacy and gold,

Riches spent on another falsity,

The gusts of merriment could speak out bold.

I erred and I look, now, for I find the truth,

I clipped my self to the lie I had brewed,

A life now I see marred by swamps,

I cannot walk without a stain on my back..

My hair trips across my face,

Stings like a mother redeeming her tiddler,

Frozen, I brush aside the afro and held,

I see them standing with a smile never so rare.

Overridden with guilt and shame,

A drop of tear escapes my essence,

I pity my term, and look for escape,

From the fear, gloom and the made mistakes.

And yet they say, you will return,

The stain just admonishes your further trials,

I hope with my heart they are true to the core,

For the fear of failure is nibbling the lesions galore..
