The Hider Within

I've thought about you often
and wandered back to those times
places
pains

I remember where you became self-aware
and I could swear I saw you flash me a knowing grin
and then you never looked at me again

Yet, here I am
and there you are
looking up at me
out through me

I know what you're about to do

I remember it like a dream
it has aged well
the smell of my conscience
is leaking through my pores

I sense the hands clambering for birth

I can't hold you at bay any longer
I'm not sure that it's any matter anyway
so it borders on inevitable

Turn me inside out
shave these paces off
remove from this facade all that is false

I know what you're about to do

so let's get on with it...

Brian,
I have read this several times and each time I get a different
meaning and sense from it. I will be revisiting this many more
times I am sure.

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
