Tale of Disguised Emotions
Trapped in the gossamer of woes and fears
Under the blanket of thick concealer
A parentless woman with frozen tears
Come dusk, I had to be my own healer
Lost in a dungeon of those blank spaces
Trapped in the gossamer of woes and fears
Salty tears leaving grief-stricken traces
O Glamour world, you held all my life's gears
Wailing, weeping, lamenting brought me cheers
An artist in the day and night as well
Trapped in the gossamer of woes and fears
A mourner in me had something to tell
About life, death and what dwells in between
My eulogies were meant to be prayers
Comforting the family, help them wean
Trapped in the gossamer of woes and fears
Author’s note: The poem is about a celebrity turned moirologist who wants to flush out her choked and disguised emotions by way of eulogies for her lost kin and that of others.
