Mythos

Beams from beyond the window come
And rest across my sleepy eye,
Waking me from deep slumber
Dreaming of where I am from.
 
I sit up and let out a sigh
Knowing that I am no longer under
The hypnotic fantasy,
A mythos that is all a lie.
 
Feeling disappointment, I wonder
What if I’d followed that fallacy,
And continued down that trail
Would I have made a blunder?
 
So to cement my new legacy
I will have to climb out of this vale
And set out on this new odyssey.
 
As I sit and stare, at my window’s veil,
I wonder how the light broke through this tale.

I have been writing poetry for the last 13 years. It all started as an assignment for a creative writing course. I never thought I would like writing, as I am dyslexic and language was always a struggle for me, but I fell in love with the art form in that class.
