Identity

Mysterious Mystery.

by Laura A. Ferrabino

Haven't you ever thought
that beyond the face a precipice looms,
and finding one's own story
it's a challenge, an exercise in glory?
Have you never mused
on the nature of likeness, empathy fused,
and the person before us
may reshape our course?
In this labyrinth
where reactions thrive,
we feed volcanoes and oceans alive,
between the image and our true self's cry:
reflections of what we display,
fires of the soul in our own way,
oceans of emotions, deep and wide,
navigating between ego and what hold inside.
