Flaw Poem by chize ryan ogunkah

Like the heel of Achilles
she colours the core of his being
An invisible scar
that taunts his belief
and questions his candour

She is that unseen shackle
that restrains his minds
expression of her legacy
She is a constant reminder
of who he really is
but inspires the fine facade
he's learned to wear
just to fit in and find form
in a cluster of more

He is her alter ego
and she is the suppressed voice
that troubles his consciousness


But in that honest moment
when he catches a glimpse
of his true self
He becomes a myth
that loathes the courage of narkissos
because he knows
his life has been a fiction
a fable that will never
make the shelf of best sellers...
