the music plays
my mouth sealed
not my mind
an endless hamster wheel
envious they say
my freedom appealing
enticing
seductive
the endless lonely night terrors
and pin-dropping
silent morning hours,
overlooked
freedom at a price
touch long forgotten
brief reprieve
singular
tears in private
always
no soothers about
and eventually
a heavyweight
eight-hundred pound
should lifts
the world it seems,
concrete
but, remember
freedom
darkened room
touch yourself
quake
breathe, wonder
a monster
you question
anger sets in
veil lifts
they sense it
not easy
never was
sniff elsewhere
bitter *****
they slam
but why?
use me
then what
a pearl at
the neck
she'll not know
suspect, initially
rare
i know
so that
then i'll smile?
i'll spread
myself
opening my
soul
punctuation ***********
remind me
the prize
more empty nights
more freedom
expectations
none
safety net
eggshell soul
barbed-wire heart
internal bleed
oozing cut
dripping trail
razor-blade smile,
nod of the head
yes, freedom
it's wonderful
