The Keeper of Chains
Blacken the eye with judgments curse
Nothing but perfection can be quantified
Β
Control is a story that ties with knots
The aspiration, the soul, in suffocation
Β
Reach up and out
Discover golden beauty
A spark, a breath
Of realism
Β
Bleach the skin with condemnation
Purity must not be remembered
Β
Punitive hate and guilt of rejection
Creates a blanket that hides in shame
Β
Reach up and out
Discover golden air
A tingle, a flash
Of realism
Β
Crimson swells like tears in rain
Only pain will justify living
Β
Truth is a lie that must be contained
Lest the rioters loot what is given
Β
Reach up and out
Discover golden strength
A smile, a twinkle
Of realism
Β
I am the pain that hides the lie
The keeper of chains and shackles
Β
Clipping the wings that make you soar
Holding you fast in winter

Sorry I haven't been around, the holidays are always a very hectic time for me. I hope to catch up with everyone, but it will take time so please be patient with me. Some exciting things are happening for me right now so I'll be here when I can as often as I can. I hope everyone is having a great week and Happy New Year :)
