Ayshela Posted April 30, 2003 Report Posted April 30, 2003 I stand deep in the shadows, where I belong. My kind must never see the light of day. The daylight dwellers laugh and mock at me, should their eyes ever chance to fall my way. A creature of the dark is all I am, yet I was born to be much more than this. My scarred, disfigured face appalls them all. Not one will see the soul behind the scars. Now I must hide in darkness all my days, as they forget that I was one of them. My lot now is to serve the mindless horde, concealed as sunlight fills their twisted souls.

Psimon Posted May 1, 2003 Report Posted May 1, 2003 Such beautiful, poignant words... such talent, profound. A wonderful piece, Lady Ayshela, simply wonderful. Thank you for allowing us to share in it.
Vlad Posted May 1, 2003 Report Posted May 1, 2003 Not one will see the soul behind the scars. I like this.At first I saw self-pity, which I hate, but toward the end, it became something... different. That passage is very good, a soul behind the scars. Makes me wonder why poeple react to getting hurt they way they do.
Chanz Posted May 2, 2003 Report Posted May 2, 2003 Beautifully written! Well done! A bit sad though. Not one will see the soul behind the scars. So true, society does judge people ont heir looks.I think society, needs to change, for us to be able to lead happie lives. But a beautiful poem, none the less!
