You'Re The Truth Poem by Mathew Lewis

You’re the truth. You’re always the truth. And I sit in the shadows behind you emasculated by hope and envy and forgotten by time while you serge on, straight and true. You cut lines deep into the sands of history and forge everlasting works into the minds of those that follow you. Like a perfect circle in the sky you complete everything you start with a grace and certainty that makes even the most minimal of actions seem great to those who watch from the side. And I remain crumpled against a foreign wall that cannot hold me for long before it disintegrates and drags me down with it into the abyss. You’re the truth. You’re always the truth. I’m just a dreamer who stumbled into a nightmare.
