Seeing Straight For Once Poem by Kim Jones

Seeing Straight For Once



Trapped behind the veiled curtain,
Where on the other side the crowd awaits,
Expecting the lie on my face to play out perfect,
And the despised words on my tongue that are completely unsaid,
To paint a beautiful image of what life 'is',
While the demons inside lie in wait to tell me that the worst has happened:
I have told the truth for once.
