Sonnet 103
Laijon Liu 20160527
Reality is more complex, interesting than fiction
Or, fiction is built and developed upon reality
What serves Helen and her readers the best?
Troy’s
prime necklace or her confused mind
This giant mirror, this vast turmoil world
Reflects every face and exams every thought
How we daily scramble, to get by, to scheme
To get ahead, to be that strong man figure
How we act so calm, like in our living room
But uncertainty wrapped us like snuggle pajamas
My Muse favors cowards more than bravery
A heart without armor shivers, rippling grace
Poems cannot describe you or me exact
Look at the world, we feel our true self
