DEEP REFLECTION

I am loneliness in the darkness:
ugliness in a world of beauty.
My light goes unseen
except by those
who go out of their way
to see.
I am solitude in the coldness;
always under pressure to conform:
to spawn with the rest.
I believe in love.
I am a joke
to my friends.
I see myself reflected
in the bulbousness
of the Lantern’s eye.
