POEM: Illusion

(Written 2010) 

Tell me clearly what you see

Feel the trembling of your knee
From dark alleys it seem to be
That you are scared and so is he

Sense the tension surrounding you
Step-by-step is what you do
Along the alley you’re forced to take
Obligatory for your own sake

In life we must face this alley
Strive and gain the victory
But then again, one must ask
“What if to ignore this task?”

Let me by now say this to all:
“You might be scared to walk alone”
“You might be thinking something’s on”
But all the fear depends on your own.

Ignore the dark, open your own light
Disregard all fears, focus on your sight
Snub the location; maybe alleys, buildings
Be confident, say bye to your worries

A narrow alley life may be
We embrace this: you and me
So discount the scars proceed to motion
'Cause all this is a matter of illusion.
