Fitted for this golden armor
Weightless to the soul
Only favored protection
The conscious must build it's own
Without a certain purpose
It's made to be quite fierce
But a small promise
The rest remains vulnerable
Danielle Whitley May 2017
Grinding teeth
hold back
The air

said,

"I will give you what you seek"

Giving to ungrateful
demanding
building security

On faulted insecurities
Disrupting the context

For certain, remains
....may forever be

Unknown

Greedy sounds inside of silence
there is no just
Outlined in the cracking trails
trampled as the filtered weeds
Inviting scenery bringing promise
Breaking once you leave
Danielle Whitley Jun 2015
A forsaken temple, built upon a foundation
Measured by strength and weakness
Before the unforeseen
a dark demeanor
A sole purpose, without control
The entrance, once was grand,
Is nothing but rubble
The color painted walls that brought light, are peeled and lay in ruins.  
The peaceful silence of comfort is a lonely nightmare of final company
The heart of itself is no longer hopeful,  left without a soul

Foundation built with armor
Architectural finesse
Becomes the understanding
Expecting nothing less

Caught within the glory
Weakness is foreseen
Sinking in normality
Strengthened part of me

Slowly beating on the walls
All I have known is wrong
Beginning with a simple dream
Could make a defense strong

Maybe it wasn't enough
Or maybe too much
Lost in this heaping pile of nothingness
grasping for the hand that fits so well
Go on, they say. All is well
From my perspective, I cannot tell
Begging for you is useless
Yet I do it anyway.

The lack of your humanity
Is but a suffocating nuisance
Placed upon the ones who don't belong inside the triangle of your behavior
Stepping outside of the limits is a typical day of choices among the saddened life style you so carelessly enjoy
When everything comes crashing down onto the world of your normalcy
There will be nothing and no one to watch
Fall into an invisible net that you seem to think exists
Maybe those will feel sorry for you
However I am not among the few
