Hidden Truth by Shernette Shaw

-

Masked behind reality
Lies the hidden truth 
Bursting to come out 
But the magnet of uncertainty keeps pulling 
It back with its 
Mighty force,
The masked was soaked 
With tears of longingness 
But blindness was the façade
Of ignorance: took the road 
Lest travelled by.
Regretfullness unmasked the hidden 
Truth  
But
It was already midnight.
Consequently, the past cannot re-live.
So, future do some justice.

    I wish it was more specific as there are so much truth that lies behind reality. We are so preoccupied with work and family life so we might never know all of what is out there.

    This poem is so deep. Just as many people wish, I would love to know the hidden truth behind a lot of life's journey. It would really prevent a lot of mistakes in life. But, on the contrary the hidden is most times what we learn more from.

New Beginnings: Embracing Change and Finding Strength

-
Life is a series of chapters, each filled with its own experiences, challenges, and lessons. As we navigate through these chapters, we inevitably encounter moments that signify the end of one phase and the beginning of another. Embracing these new beginnings can be both exhilarating and daunting, but they offer us a chance to reflect, grow, and rediscover ourselves. The Importance of Closure Before embarking on a new journey, it's essential to acknowledge and process the past. Closure is a critical component of moving forward. Whether it’s a relationship, a job, or a lifestyle, recognizing what has come to an end allows us to honor our experiences and the lessons they imparted.

The Seductive Stranger An uncontrollable percussive sound escaped from my chest as you approach me. The closer you get  the more my unsettled limbs expose my sense of disquietude.  The strength in my knees deserted me instantly. I have never laid eyes on such a fine human being - A paragon of a flawless consort. I struggle to maintain my vertical position as you reach for your camera. ‘You are so flawless, yet you want to capture my imperfection.’  screamed my starved mind. You looked at me with your perfect eyes- the best I’ve ever beheld. I gasp for breath. With you less than two feet away from me  everything around me immediately vanished until  you parted your ravishing lips and uttered: ‘Excuse me, lady, you are blocking my view’                                                     ...
