PRISONER OF TIME 1 © 2007
Little interests me the reactions
To what I write,
The emotions of others
Will not alter its relief.
Each word I craft
Is a reflection of what I feel,
And whether the world receives them
With indifference or fervour,
It does not change the value I see in them.
And I will not speak in public,
For the voice that echoes in solitude
Is more sincere, more authentic,
Than any applause or acclaim.
Vanity in play is a game,
A theatre that does not attract me,
I prefer the silence of my lines,
Where the truth hides and reveals itself,
Without the need for approval,
Only for the pleasure of existing.
