Literary: Soothsayer

In life,
I was once a liar

I had no guts
To say the truth
Words entangled
And words never uttered
Promises unfulfilled
And promises shattered

Yet in writing,
I have found my freedom

A voice to shout
For love always kept
An ink to cry
For eyes that never wept
A pen to scribe
Life's favourite bliss
A paper to be filled
With eternal memories

I thank you
For being the light
To cast the shadows
And emancipating the truth

My only wish
Is that I have left a mark on you
Just as you
Have left a legacy on mine

(Nod to Privia’s first lit: Liar)
