Random Poem

I had to sit through a meeting at school today. I guess it went well and I could say I learned some stuff....but I got distracted by this random thought of how hollow most people are and with the thought "hollow man", in terms of our culture and how fake most people are, ringing through my head for no apparent reason (I guess it was my abstract mind taking me there in my boredom)...I wrote this:

hollow man
mask held high
facade works only
on those passing by

nothing to see
the eye is the window
leading to soul
but it is empty

acts hold for crowds alone
fewer still care to see past
those who love you, even unsaid
know the abyss inside

put down your guard
take a chance, be real
life takes turns
when light is let in

pain will occur
the path is unworn
no map to guide you
confusion is likely

family will raise the brow
resistance will ensue
emptiness feels comfortable
when opposition arises

that lonely home of
hiding deep inside
of maintaining hollowness
is easiest of all

but meaning cannot
be found inside an abyss
let light shine in
let the few see

embrace the pain
take hold the opposition
find life in hardship
for after the rain comes the bow
