Appearances

As the biggest fear sets in
The appearance of incompetence
The pain of want
Lives
Bottomless in the
Darkest corner of the soul
Hiding in the
Private recesses of the mind
Clogging arteries
Growing tumours
Seeking instant relief
From this affliction
A mere perception
Unkind

As the biggest resolve sets in
The appearance of hope
The pain of success
Dogged
Endless in the
Bright bells of laughter
Exposed
In the fields of expectation
Un-tempered
Invested
Seeking constant security
From this victory
A mere approval
Benevolent
