The Burning Man

The Burning Man

The burning man is everyman.
The child within contained.
The shell we see, a fantasy
the inner self in chains

The self within, the truest  one
kept hidden and concealed,
The outer shell, the world can see
the only ‘self’ revealed

We are the child within that cage,
concealed behind the flesh and bone.
The  self inside  protected  deep
imprisoned in that inner zone

They say we only show the world
the outer part we let it see.
Within our breast, a better self,
we  sometimes show to family.

But buried deepest yet,you know
the very purest ‘you’,
The one your God can always find,
the only one that’s true

This Inner child, this innocent
That yearns to reconnect
Whose purity longs to repair
the world the adults wrecked.

Remove the frame that holds your worth
and let your real self show,
fly free to touch the highest realm
and share your Inner glow.

Hi Lodigiana and I loved reading this.
So glad I found it and we all wear masks and your poem perceptively sees through all that human ego and falsehood and tells the inner child truth.
A great write and a great read that speaks its poetic message so precisely and clearly.
Thank you for sharing, take care and I wish you well.
Shaun.x.
