Note : The idea is to read the complete poem as a whole together.Thank you. 🙂
Cowering in the shadows hiding his countenance
De facto lurking close to dark alleys as people walk by
Rebuff advances when street lamp illuminates cold night
Moving closer to walls he was no closer to human touch
Observing with prolong inner silence he studied their laugh, shouts, and cry
Solitary confinement was self imposed in act of masochism
Or was he shunned by society’s paradigm in act of sadism
Nothing known, not foretold was his anecdote lying in dirt
A scar ran from neck down to inside of his yellow shirt
Grim teeth set asymmetrical placed on chapped lip
Clamping on perfection of past memories is toxic
Clambering to make peace with ivory skin
Blazed was he but never fond of light
Frosty was his gaze, beastly like
Aware was he of abysmal fate
Invisible on life stage
Ignorant he played
“The Face”
