    Title: The Paradox Of Emptiness

    In the depths of my soul,
    perhaps, therein lies a hidden beauty,
    waiting to be unleashed, unraveled and unveiled,
    by the affection and love I have buried within me.

    Let me paint my past myself,
    then decide whether you will leave or stay,
    for the duality I hold will only burden you,
    because I won’t be taking my mask off today.

    No, this visard of my solitudes and sorrows shall remain etched upon my woeful face,
    because I have been judged, misjudged and misunderstood by those who do not know,
    that the wallflower I am lacks altruism and grace,
    it encompasses self-destruction and soul-demolition, an ongoing flow.

    So force me not to abolish this masquerade I keep up so persistently,
    for I simply wish to drown in this melancholic abyss finally.
