[hometext] => This was written about a decade ago. I'd had enough of "false friends" and needed to vent...
[bodytext] => ANGLE OF INCIDENCE I cried alone again last night, I didn’t want company. I wanted to let myself leak out To see what I’ve made of me. And everything before my eyes Held no hint or sign of pretence, And I feel as if I’m trapped within My own angle of incidence. I find that people are taken aback By my honest and open way. I am straight-forward - perhaps abrupt; They recoil, and turn away. They all reflect a person they’re not, They wear masks, but no conscience. And all I wear is armour made Of my angle of incidence. My reflection is not false, What you see is who I am. I console myself by challenging you To be yourself - if you can! You can hide behind your mask, It is your only defense. For I can see through your disguise From my angle of incidence.
