Poetry
Truth's Hero
By EmmaSparrow
21 August 2007

This is basicly about a man who is seeking out the truth. Another poem that I wrote years ago which I want to share with everyone. This was actually inspired by my favourite TV show at the time, The X-Files, Mulder is the man in the poem, trying to uncover the secrets which have consumed his life.

 


He moves with hurt determination,
a man with a mission.
No-one could ever know what it is like to feel
his undying desperation.
A desperate search for truths unknown,
his only hope that one day, maybe,
he too will know the secrets,
the secrets that now lie dormant and untold.
He is so close,
but yet so far,
the answers are there,
he is searching so hard.
He reaches out,
he can almost touch
who or what he has been looking for so much,
but the stab of emotional pain
as again it slips away,
the door is still locked,
the truth is still contained.
Entangled in a web of conspiracy,
this man,
will he find out?
Will he live to see the day?

Truth's Hero

Truth's Hero is a man who is one in millions I think. There are so many people who seem to go through life looking for some kind of meaning to their life. What a good subject you've chosen with an eye-catching title. What do you personally feel that he is looking for in the truth? I feel that there has to be more than being born, living from day to day and dying and being buried - yet for many life is only that. I am sure that we have to look outside of ourselves. Personally I prefer a poem which is split up into definable verses, but this is perhaps just me. Well done.
