PRISONER OF TIME 1 © 2007

Poetry saves me

From being someone else,

In writing I find refuge

From the masks of the crowd.

In each verse, I am myself,

Without adornments or disguises,

Here, I am true and whole,

In the silence of words, I find peace.

Life may be a stage

Where everyone plays roles,

But in the lines and poems,

I find the freedom I long for.

Through poetry, I discover myself,

Far from expectations and conventions,

In the refuge of words, I am who I am,

Free from shadows and illusions.
