A long time ago
You took me to a place
with five walls.
The windows showed me
A beautiful garden.
But you asked me
to stay there
And stay there I did,
just like someone
once asked you to stay there
And stay there you did.

A delicious dream
Today
and awoke
Feeling
betrayed.

written over and over again
Until there's nothing more to say.

A laborious task master
Taxing unrest
Is the only force
Carrying on
To conclusion
To do it
Or just give it up
The illusion
I’m actually qualified,
Capable,
Savvy
With info wars waging
My piece of the happy
