Denial Poem by Vanessa Kingsley

Denial



Denial

Look in the my eyes and you’ll see nothing’s wrong
Look at my smile and think I’m a happy girl
Observe my past and feel suspicion
Read my words and feel the pain
Dismiss any hints or clues
Clear your mind of and doubts
I smiled
I’m happy
Nothing is wrong

Look into the mirror
I can fool myself
Hide the weakness
Now it doesn’t exist
Reread my words
I was simply bored
Nothing is wrong
Nothing is wrong
Nothing. Is. Wrong

Alone with our thoughts
We try to escape them
But locked in a room surrounded by truth…
You can’t run
You can’t hide
There is nothing to be done
Something is wrong
Something is wrong
Something is wrong


No there isn’t

Denial such a worthy opponent...if it would but stay in it's proper place the unconscious....yet as the poem dictates it will no stay in it's proper place and to worsen the dilemna even mirrors talk
