Deceptive prying
Lying
Hovering accusations
Twisted assassinations
Burnt offerings
of Misinformation
Dangling
Entangling
Enticing forgiveness
Betrayal unfolded
Put to bed scolded
Love
The smell in the air, Iron, Rusty.
Choppers buzzing.
Neighbors stirred
awkwardly standing
amazed.
Senseless anger unleashed
robbing the day of it's peace.
Red lights flashing,
Screaming,
announcing the horror.
silently escaping
life, reaching.
The tape is unwound
sealing us out.
Innocence forgotten.
A lost dog in the park
looking for his friend
stops.
An empty pair of shoes.
Anxious numbness
is all that remains.
Second rate Dame
run of the mill lame
too late in life
to ever make a good wife
Common fool
Pretending she's cool
if I had been seventeen
instead of ordinary thirty something
so-so I'm told
fair lady living in a dream
indifferently abled queen
Passable, yet straining to hide
I worship you" she lied
Alone in this medium world
I wonder "what if I had been a girl?"
Live your Dream,
Whatever it may be.
Do what it takes to be happy,
Open your eyes and see.
Fear nothing,
It will be all right.
Hold onto your hopes,
With all your might.
Tomorrow will come,
Like it or not.
Be your true self,
Your not a robot.
Flesh and blood,
Ashes and dust.
You're here, You're alive,
No ifs, ands, or buts.

— The End —
