The Persona of Dorian Gray
March 11, 2015
Mirror, Mirror,
On the wall,
Show me the ugliest soul of all.
Marred by Wotton and time,
Promiscuity and crime.
My soul may be black as night,
And my body Gray,
But this pretty face will live
Forever and a day.
I am the beauty of the world,
Can you not see?
That’s why I was gifted a portrait
From Faust to me.
I’m no longer civil,
But full of devilish disdain.
I’m the defiler of Sibyl,
The definition of Vane.
Be still,
Darling Basil,
I need not to pray.
For I am the invulnerable,
Dorian Gray.
