The Redacted Life

by wolflight

Led by delusion in blinders, Stilled by shackles on my hands and silenced with a ball gag. This life is lived locked on the wrong side of the bullet proof glass. Half truths are the only truth. Every coin, every story, has only one side. The path before, and for miles behind me, is filled with glass and burning coals. My mind is free, but what point does it serve? My auto biography is a lie, redacted by the masters of the universe. This is my world. This catatonic existence is self made.
