Juggling Words

Deafening brazen censures, Putrid acts of "kindness", Bloodied heart of vanity, Painted to seem worthy, Clamored to seem wordy, A twist with words, A kiss of pain, Your words of rusted steel. Disguising disgust in compliments? Please, don't waste your breath! I know of your festering conscience; I know of your elusive plays. Cherish your words, my darling; Stop using them for naught; What use to cover a rotten figure, In terribly plastered shells? Enough with your mentality! Wake up to the truth of reality! It's not society that's broken; It's you who's horribly meek! You think I'm being harsh? Snap out of your fantasy! Stop sewing faux pas, If you can't cover the seams! Everything is darker than it seems, Yet, there is also a light to it; You intend to mold the truth out of Luma, When you know it's bare of pain, You already lost, expectedly; You may get your cravings, But you will never get what you are worth; You've soiled your own pride.
