seven years in tibet*

by Vere Mantratriad

I praise to you
whether you want it or not
and it’s a difficult impression
to leave on your face when
you’re trying so hard
not to see yourself
but the mirror is inside
and won’t dislodge
from your grey matter
no matter the matter

So few words for so much said. I'm so jealous of you Vere, that I'm begining to look like Kermit (ribit)lol. You ROCK!!!

A great movie also if I'm not mistaken, with Brad Pitt. I like the open hearted honesty of this piece, and especially the aliteration in the last few lines.

a great use of wording here.. those last few lines really drive it home
