Naked in an invisible cage
Insane in a sane rage
Exposed in an unreal mask
Molded from a molded cast

Cornered by social belief
Waiting for divine relief
Threatened by constant attack
Caressed by a stab in the back

Depraved of valued self
Blessed to the comforts of hell
Armored with religious redundancy
Confused by the devastating consistency

Deafened by the muted screams
Freed by mere dreams
Locked by feared nightmares
Caught completely unawares

Depressed by the peaceful rest
Shackled by the majorities conquest
Lost for lack of sight
Lost more for lack of foresight

Weighed down by stones of consideration
Frightened by the black window
Worried by overruled opinions
Harassed by the innocent murmurs

Overlooked for recent birth
Undernourished in self-esteem
Estranged by familiar smiles

Sold for a few shells
Souled for a few tears
Consoled for a few fears

Accused for self-interest
Misused for self-interest
Unused for lack of interest

Known for lack of spine
Undead for lack of life
Dead for lack of you

Cornered by a 1000 parents
Frown in an insulated smile
Clothed in an awkward me

Crushed by self-pity
Fooled in the lesson of life
Born for want of lust
Failed for lack of rhyme…
