Darkness Falls On Tenement Twelve (Free verse) by Mona Lisa
The world orbits me here
Hourly, once a day on a concrete plateau.
Camouflaged on concrete I can turn gold
The sky is never uniformed
and each time I feel nothing
I climb to the top of tenement twelve
Lay on top of caged vents
To breathe, feel, and see everything.
I went to search for myself
but only found myself losing my mind,
I am the sound of the ocean you hear in shells
Who can often be heard but never seen,
Isnât it absurd how I live is not how I dream?
I will be magnificent in my own way
And express myself by being quiet
I have always had something yet nothing to say
I do not deny it,
For my inner darkness
Never seems to set
Only as a child did I know day.
